What we do
Since 2002, the Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservancy District has served Pueblo, Crowley, Bent, Otero, and Prowers counties. Our focus is to safeguard the region’s water resources to ensure thriving irrigated agriculture, vibrant rural communities, and a strong economy for both current and future generations.
Four Priority Focus Areas
Water Resource Protection
Water Quality Improvement
Irrigated Farmland Conservation
Advocacy and Outreach
For Farmers
We work with local landowners who are interested in permanently protecting their land, water rights, and legacy. We also offer technical and grant assistance with water quality and irrigation improvement projects.
For Communities
Our goal is to connect communities with information and resources on water issues related to Colorado’s Arkansas River Basin. We regularly attend events and provide presentations.
Our Projects
Since our founding, we’ve led a broad range of projects, studies, and strategic initiatives to protect water resources and enhance water quality across the Lower Arkansas Valley.
Why It Matters
When farmland is dried up so cities can grow, that’s not economic progress—it’s the relocation of opportunity from one community to another.
