Will this project help us get through a drought?
Yes, this project increases the diversification of ACWWA’s water portfolio. ACWWA will have water rights in the middle and lower South Platte River area, Cherry Creek, groundwater and multiple storage reservoirs. Since the severity of drought conditions generally vary by river basins in Colorado, having a diverse portfolio will give us the best opportunity to weather drought conditions.
