This winter’s precipitation in Archuleta County and our surrounding mountains has been below average. The water levels of both Lake Powell and Lake Mead are at about 35 percent. What does this mean for our San Juan River? On Tuesday evening, March 25, the Southwestern Water Conservation District and Wright Water Engineers will present the results of risk studies undertaken to answer that question. They will explain the assumptions used in modeling the risks. The risk assessments will contain data specific to our upper San Juan River watershed. Steve Wolff (SWCD) and Pete Foster (WWE) will lead the presentation. Craig Dollar of our local Colorado Division of Water Resources will explain the new measurement rules that Colorado water users will follow to document consumption.

This free presentation will be held at Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts.  2313 Eagle Dr.
