The Colorado Water Trust - Restoring flows to rivers and streams

The Colorado Water Trust is committed to completing projects that put real water back in rivers and streams across Colorado. In our brief history, we’ve restored approximately 9 billion gallons of water to 316 miles of streams and rivers in Colorado.

WHY WE'RE NEEDED

For over 150 years, Colorado’s water allocation system has focused on taking water out of rivers. When the Colorado Water Trust was founded in 2001, our job was to prove that this same system could also restore depleted river flows—bringing back ecosystems and making life better for wildlife and humans both.

We remain focused solely on flow restoration, but our approach has expanded to include formal projects that work with Colorado’s Instream Flow Program, informal agreements with water users, infrastructure projects, and projects that help amplify the flow restoration efforts of others.
