This spring, the Colorado River District will be hitting 11 communities in western Colorado to discuss water issues facing the basin for its annual “State of the River” meetings.  During the meetings, the governmental agency will share localized insights on river flow forecasts as well as updates on the Colorado River system as a whole, water projects and priorities, challenges facing water users as well as an update on its acquisition of the Shoshone Water Rights in Glenwood Canyon. Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions about the factors shaping the river system.
