About this episode
The Poudre River starts in Rocky Mountain National Park and flows through fantastic country. Immediately when it leaves the mountains it is put to work providing water for humans in many applications. This river even has its flows augmented by inputs that are diverted from streams on the other side of the Continental Divide. Today, there are several Front Range municipalities and water districts actively working to develop water rights from the Poudre for distribution and use in existing and emerging homes. One project is NISP, Northern Integrated Supply Project; the other is the City of Thornton pipeline. There is very real concern more water extraction from the Poudre will dry this river up before it flows through the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. On this show we are joined by American Whitewater, Northern Water, Diversify Whitewater, Rocky Mountain Adventures, and Larimer County. Unable to join were the City of Thornton and the City of Fort Collins. This is the story of water and humans in the west in the modern moment.
