"These are folks that have identified the drought as an opportunity to make money. I view these private drought profiteers as vultures. They're looking to make a lot of money off this public resource."

"There are at least 74 water projects in the works or proposed in Summit County. Some of those will need to be prioritized, the Blue River Watershed Group told county commissioners."

Local solutions from people who know and love their watersheds are one of the strongest responses we have in the Upper Basin to a rapidly changing climate and the water storage crisis in the Basin. Support from local funding sources, non-profits, the CWCB as well as our own Community Funding Partnership are crucial to meeting the need for updated infrastructure and more efficient water use.

“'While we didn’t come up with the idea of system conservation and certainly didn’t ever endorse the idea that $125 million should be made available for this particular system conservation program, we recognize that we need to act to protect our communities and our water supply here,' said Andy Mueller, general manager of the River District.

According to the River District’s criteria, an applicant must prove saving water will not injure other water users. In a given year, no more than 30% of the land owned by a single person or entity can be dried up and no more than 30% of the irrigated land in any sub-basin can be dried up."
