Evaluating Conserved Consumptive Use in the Upper Colorado River

June 24, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am

Hosted by Colorado Water Conservation Board

A discussion on the initial findings of a groundbreaking research project exploring water conservation in high-altitude ranching operations.

Providing options to temporarily reduce agricultural water use is one potential solution, but significant knowledge gaps exist about how this can work in practice for the high-altitude perennial grasses that make up the majority of the irrigated acreage on Colorado’s Western Slope.
