Mancos River Diversion Projects

From 2006-2010, assessments of the Mancos River Watershed revealed some critical issues: outdated irrigation infrastructure taking a toll on the Mancos River, degradation of the river channel, inefficient and poorly measured water delivery, and frustrated irrigators unable to afford ongoing maintenance. Additionally, the assessment showed that a major portion of the degradation occurs at diversion sites. To help mitigate these issues, the Mancos Conservation District Developed three phases of diversion projects.
