Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District

    Welcome to the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District.

    Stretching across the headwaters of the Yampa River Basin from the Flattops in South Routt County to the Park Range in North Routt County and west into Moffatt County, our district is dedicated to responsible water management and the protection of our most valuable natural resource.

    As stewards of the region’s water, we understand the critical role it plays in sustaining our environment, supporting agriculture, and fueling economic growth. Through visionary planning, strategic partnerships, and innovative practices, we strive to ensure a secure water future for our communities.
