Via Coco, another scheme (this one with private money) to get water from the sparsely populated western Colorado side of the continental divide to the heavily and rapidly growing east:

Time will tell whether Aaron P. Million’s plan to bring water from Flaming Gorge Reservoir to the Front Range will make him a legend in Colorado water lore or just another wild-eyed, big-talker with a water scheme.

Million’s $3 billion project, which he says will be completed in three to five years, would move up to 250,000 acre-feet of water annually from the reservoir on the Utah/Wyoming border.

Water would be pumped through a 400-mile pipeline across southern Wyoming along Interstate 80 to Colorado’s Front Range – serving up to 650,000 homes.
