Being Environmentally Responsible

While our current and future projects drive day-to-day operations, Northern Water does much more in fulfilling our commitment to project participants, allottees and the general public. 

Through our water efficiency program, Northern Water encourages good stewardship of Colorado’s water resources. This includes investing with local partners and green industry professionals to educate the public on how to do more with less water. 

Monitoring water and other environmental parameters, as well as providing data are other major effort underway here at Northern Water. We monitor, collect and distribute weather and water quality data, snowpack, streamflows and reservoir levels, as well as water temperatures and river health. Northern Water is also a major participant and collaborator in multi-state programs to restore and protect endangered species and aquatic wildlife.
