"As growing numbers of people migrate to the 
urban areas of Montana, the value placed on what 
many savvy investors and hydrologists are calling 
'blue gold' will continue to grow.

"The Tenmile Creek Water Rights are comprised of 
five individual water rights totaling 1,212 
acre-feet which have been changed from irrigation 
water rights to temporary in-stream use.  Located 
west of Helena - Montana's state capital - the 
Tenmile Creek drainage serves as the major water 
source for the city's municipal water supply. "
