our precious water originate. Most of Colorado's water is largely dependent on Colorado's winter weather, from the mountain snow-melt. Once the snow melts it either streams east toward the Atlantic or West towards the Pacific oceans. Some water is diverted, some replenishes our aquifers and the rest is captured in our reservoirs.
Because most of Colorado's population is on the east side of the Rockies or Continental Divide, Pacific bound water is transported to the east side reservoirs. Did you know that 90% of Colorado's water usage is for agriculture! Pipelines have been established to move water through the Continental Divide moving water from the Western Slope to the Front Range.
