Eagle River Watershed Council initiated the Eagle River Community Water Plan to develop proactive water management recommendations that anticipate changes to local hydrology and water demand.
In the fall of 2017, Eagle River Watershed Council (ERWC) partnered with River Network to begin engaging stakeholders and to build support for an integrated watershed management plan. With funding from Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) and others, ERWC partnered with Peak Facilitation (stakeholder process consultant) and Lotic Hydrological (technical consultant) to work with stakeholders to further refine the scope of work.
Key stakeholders involved in the Eagle River Community Water Plan include major water rights owners, environmental interest groups, recreational user groups, agricultural user groups (through the local conservation district), local government and state/federal agencies.
