Clean and reliable water supplies are essential to our way of life in Colorado. All of us depend on healthy flowing rivers: agricultural producers, cities and towns, businesses, recreation, and the environment.

The update of the Colorado Water Plan, the beginning of the renegotiation around the Colorado River, and performance of the Colorado River Drought Contingency Plans, a temporary yet broad agreement to reduce water use and ensure that Lakes Powell and Mead continue to provide a reliable water supply.

One thing is clear. We all play a role in sustaining Colorado’s water future. Find out more and join Audubon Rockies, Grand Valley Audubon Society, Business for Water Stewardship, the Colorado River District, Trout Unlimited, the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Grand Valley Water Users Association, and For the Love of Colorado for an evening of community, food and discussion about charting Colorado’s water future. Colorado thrives when our rivers do too.
