By MEGAN SCHRADER megan.schrader@gazette.com -DENVER - Farmers and ranchers from along the Lower Arkansas River were riled about a bill that would protect governments from being sued over stormwater detention and mitigation systems that impact water flows.Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, said it was a communication issue that brought the water rights owners hours from their farms to the Capitol in Denver on Thursday, noting that Senate Bill 212 actually would protect their water rights rather than injure them."I think the amendments we drafted make that clear," Sonnenberg said.
