Who We Are
 
The Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District was created for the purpose of developing and administering the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. The District extends along the Arkansas River corridor from Buena Vista to Lamar, and along Fountain Creek from Colorado Springs to Pueblo, Colorado. The District consists of parts of nine counties deriving benefits from project water.
 
The Colorado State University Arkansas Valley Research Center was established to serve the research needs of the irrigated farming area of southeast Colorado known as the Arkansas Valley, extending from Pueblo County on the west to the Kansas border.
 
The Bureau of Reclamation created the Water Conservation Field Services Program. The program is designed to encourage water conservation, to assist water agencies with developing and implementing effective water management and conservation plans, to coordinate with state and other local conservation program efforts, and generally to foster improved water management on a regional, statewide and watershed basis.
