A Better Future for the Poudre River: Alternative to the Northern Integrated Supply Project
An alternative to the water supply project proposed by the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District to protect the Poudre River, wetlands, communities and businesses while meeting future water needs of 15 towns and water districts in northern Colorado.
The Poudre Runs Through It A Study/Action Work Group of about 25 citizen experts who were selected to study the Poudre River and formulate cooperative actions. This group meets to build relationships and to put in action the initiatives they have identified, "to make the Poudre River the world's best example of a working river that's also healthy."
History of the Water Supply & Storage Company
Since the 1890s, the Water Supply and Storage Company (WSSC) has become a large and imposing water delivery company in the Cache la Poudre River Valley. Its vast system of canals and reservoirs, acquired and built over the last century to irrigate fields, shape the landscape in and around Fort Collins.
Irrigation, Settlement, and Change on the Cache la Poudre River

When we save a river, we save a major part of an ecosystem, and we save ourselves as well because of our dependence - physical, economic, spiritual - on the water and its community of life.
