Gunnison River Basin News

NEWS, EVENTS, AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FROM YOUR FRIENDS IN THE GUNNISON RIVER BASIN
GUNNISON

News You Can Use:

Ouray, Montrose, and Delta counties are all under fire restrictions. Up to date information for each county and details on the restrictions for each ‘stage’ of fire restrictions can be found here.

General Gunnison River Basin water level reports can be found through this late July article by the Montrose Daily Press. As always, the most up-to-date data and river levels can be found on our Gunnison River Basin website.

Read some of our curated water news archives:

Voluntary water efforts don’t always prompt users to save water as desired, but Paonia brought about water conservation with measured success.

The Delta County Independent has published a flurry of water-related news. For example click above to read about the following: the boat ramp at Crawford Reservoir is closed due to low water levels, revisiting the Cedaredge drought response, Paonia moves to remove the last of its water delivery lines that contain lead, and how an artesian well north of Cedaredge might not be sufficient to be reliable.

Who is out there protecting your water? Check out this map from River Network to get a sampling of all the organizations out there tackling water projects and initiatives.
