There are literally thousands of pages of information connected to the CSKT Water Compact. Also what can be classified as criminal activity has taken place in passing this and now the next step in underway, with the adjudication happening in the Montana Water Court.
Of the 300,000 water rights that exist in this part of Montana affected by the Compact and only 68,000 received Letters.
