Did you know?

The river infrastructure indicator addresses the state of water diversion infrastructure as it relates to the structure’s ability to deliver water to the structure owners, allow for fish passage, offer safe passage for recreational boaters, and support river health as much as possible. Infrastructure evaluation for select structures throughout the Yampa basin was completed in 2020 by J-U-B Engineers and Wilson Water Group as part of the Yampa Basin Integrated Water Management Plan. Additional information on infrastructure was provided by the Colorado Department of Water Resources staff for Districts 57 and 58.
