Yampa River (CO)
The Yampa is the last free-flowing tributary in the entire Colorado basin. It has been targeted as a source of “clean and reliable” water for Denver and a project has been proposed for a 300,000 acre foot reservoir above Dinosaur National Monument. Impacts to the recreational opportunities on one of the region's most outstanding multiday trips would be substantial as peak spring flows enjoyed by boaters would be stored and diverted.

The purpose of this Multi-Basin Water Supply Investigation (MBWSI) is to identify facilities and associated potential costs for the transfer of water from rivers in northwest Colorado to the Front Range area to meet Colorado's future water supply gap.

Colorado's Statewide Water Supply Initiative may very well determine the fate of Colorado's whitewater rivers by dictating how much water can be removed from rivers to serve a growing population.
