The Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) includes multiple features that will protect the Poudre River and our environment. One of those features is a commitment to stream flows. Extremely low flows are common in late summer, fall and winter months.  

Glade Reservoir will strategically release 18 to 25 cfs of water into the river throughout the year to help maintain better year-round flows. Improved flows will greatly benefit aquatic life and habitat, eliminate existing dry up points and make the river useable for recreation more days of the year.
