Friends of the Yampa
|
| The Yampa River is the last, largest and the longest remaining tributary of the Colorado River that remains in its free-flowing state. However, the Yampa River Pumpback is proposed to divert 2,000 cfs of Yampa River water to the Front Range. The Friends of the Yampa are fighting for water to remain in-stream for non-consumptive purposes: fisheries, flora, recreation, & future generations. |

| White River Watershed Group |
| The White River Watershed Group recently held their annual meeting to discuss a plan to remove Tamarisk and Russian Olive along the banks of the White and Yampa River. The Group also discussed the drafting of a resolution to be submitted to the state legislature, which aims to protect existing and future water rights on the White and Yampa from the impacts of a compact call under the Colorado River Compact. |
