Overview Colorado's oldest water rights are a system of hand-dug acequia irrigation ditches predating statehood, created by Spanish, Mexican, and Anglo settlers. Today, the 73 acequias of Costilla County's Río Culebra Watershed serve as the crux of agriculture and ranching for over 300 families, and are often maintained by descendants of those who constructed them.
