Description

The Colorado Water Trust was formed in 2001 to support and promote voluntary efforts to protect and restore the state's streamflows. In the 1800s, Coloradans began diverting the state?s rivers and streams to serve a variety of beneficial uses such as farms and ranches, mines, industries, and homesteads. New diversions and beneficial uses have come online and as of now, many rivers, streams, wetlands, and riparian areas are water-short, threatening Colorado?s water-dependent natural heritage and environmental diversity. Voluntary water conservation efforts can and do mitigate water shortages, and the Colorado Water Trust was formed to encourage such efforts. Today, CWT is the only non-profit organization working statewide to transact water deals for conservation benefits.
