The Colorado River District's Community Funding Partnership program has awarded $19.3 million to more than 100 multi-benefit water projects across the West Slope since its inception in 2021. Helping towns develop redundant water sources is just one of those benefits.
The story of the Colorado River weaves together geography, community voices, and data-driven science to inform decisions.
Explore narratives that contribute to the collective story — and typify water challenges worldwide.
