The first part of our water series (http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/jun...) covered the Colorado compact and has graphics that explain the partitioning of the river water. A look back at what Nevada was when the compact was signed should also be considered. Yes, Clark County and Las Vegas in particular is a much different place than was the small rail stop in the valley meadow of 1922. And Fred is correct — the compact as written offers Nevada the short straw and the other states will do little to change it. Chris Morris.
