Both chambers of Colorado’s legislature have approved legislation that, if signed into law, would study a range of new technologies like blockchain for their potential use in managing the state’s water supplies.
Forty-five lawmakers co-sponsored the legislation, which states:
“[I]t is in the public interest to authorize and direct the University of Colorado, in collaboration with Colorado state university and the Colorado water institute, to conduct feasibility studies and pilot deployments of these technologies and to report to the general assembly on the potential of these technologies to improve Colorado water management.
