Description

Description

The Animas-La Plata Project is a federal water project near Durango, Colorado, designed to provide water storage and supply for tribal nations, municipal, industrial, and agricultural users. It includes Lake Nighthorse reservoir, pumping plants, and pipelines to deliver water. The project was authorized in 1968 but faced decades of delays due to environmental concerns, legal challenges, and political debates. It was significantly scaled down from its original plan and finally filled Lake Nighthorse in 2011. In 2025, the Southern Ute Indian Tribe began using its allocated water from the project for the first time, marking a historic milestone.
