River District talks water for the Roaring Fork at BOCC work session
Water managers from the Colorado River District met with Pitkin County Commissioners Tuesday to talk about shared goals and points of contention around keeping more water in Western Slope rivers. Representatives from the Glenwood Springs-based Colorado River Water Conservation District attended a work session with commissioners to explain how a deal with a Front Range diverter keeps more flow in the Roaring Fork, and about their plan to purchase the water rights tied to the Shoshone hydroplant in Glenwood Canyon.
