Manage Water Conservation
What is The Freshwater Trust doing here?
On Colorado’s West Slope, The Freshwater Trust (TFT) is partnering with the Colorado River District to boost agricultural and ecological resilience to climate change.
We are also working with the largest irrigation district in the state to design programs that conserve water, strengthen agricultural productivity, and improve watershed health.
Why is this important?
The Colorado River brings water to seven U.S. states and parts of Mexico. Its path irrigates 5 million acres of agricultural land, serves 30 Native American tribes, and provides more than 40 million people with drinking water.
However, the water is at risk of running out due to climate change and human activity.
With so many people dependent upon the Colorado River to survive, The Freshwater Trust and our partners must work together to find smart solutions that use the existing water more efficiently.
