About Meetings

Success has to start somewhere

Nine basin roundtables were established to represent each of Colorado’s eight major river basins and the Denver metropolitan area. Together, the basin roundtables bring more than 300 citizens representing diverse interests including recreation, environmental, agricultural, industrial and domestic water needs.

At their quarterly meetings in either Durango or Cortez, 40 members of our local roundtable come from all over southwestern Colorado to provide input into the water plan, arrive at consensus on difficult issues, and approve state funding for area projects.

The Roundtable has numerous ad hoc committees that meet throughout the year. The Roundtable has also supported in the past studies and project pilots. The below tabbed information provides details for these committee and other Roundtable supported activities.
