Southeastern Colorado Water

The Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District is dedicated to managing and supplying water resources to meet the needs of southeastern Colorado, focusing on irrigation, municipal, and industrial uses, as well as hydroelectric power generation and recreational opportunities. The district oversees the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project, a transmountain diversion that collects water from the Fryingpan River basin and delivers it to the eastern slope, enhancing water availability and supporting local ecosystems.

In addition to providing a crucial water supply, the district emphasizes conservation and flood control, while also maintaining and improving fish and wildlife habitats. The Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District is committed to educational initiatives and conservation practices that promote sustainable water management in the region.
