Colorado Water Congress

The Colorado Water Congress is an instrumentality of the State of Colorado, established in 1958 by the Governor and Attorney General’s office. We serve as the principal voice of Colorado's water community.

Through member forums and committees, the Colorado Water Congress provides strong leadership and thoughtful action to serve Colorado's needs to manage, protect, conserve, and develop our most valuable natural resource.

Our belief is that the state of Colorado’s water impacts the state’s well-being.  We are dedicated to successful promotion of policy that supports high-quality, sustainable water supplies through the protection of water rights, conservation, planning, management, and infrastructure investment.  We strive for thoughtful and equitable development and administration of water laws, regulations, and compacts.
