Source: Coyote Gulch
The project involves the purchase of water rights attached to Xcel Energy's aging Shoshone Power Plant in Glenwood Canyon to secure water flows for the Western Slope communities, wildlife habitats, and farms downstream. The Colorado River District has been working to purchase these rights to prevent them from being acquired by other entities that might threaten the water flow certainty.
