The Rio Blanco Water Conservancy District (RBWCD) is interviewing rural landowners and agricultural water users within the RBWCD boundaries and throughout Rio Blanco County. The purpose of gathering information is to assist water users in maximizing their water rights for present and future water needs, the impacts of droughts on their operations, the potential to improve agricultural productivity, and opportunities for water conservation. This is a perfect opportunity to creatively envision your property and how a firm water supply will be beneficial to all water users within our White River community. Please contact Alden Vanden Brink at 2252 East Main Street, Rangely, CO, or call (970) 675-5055 with any questions if you would like to participate. Learn more HERE.
