Agriculture-Municipal Subcommittee

The Agriculture - Municipal Subcommittee of the Arkansas Basin Roundtable seeks to develop and foster a friendly working relationship between urban and rural interests in the Arkansas River Basin. The subcommittee's goal is to provide a space where these two interests can come together in common cause to work on issues of mutual interest, while also seeking to prevent or resolve points of disagreement. Current topics being examined include water rights financing, phreatophyte mitigation, and basin storage needs. The subcommittee formed in late 2021 and hopes to help further the cause of wise and sustainable water use and management throughout Southeastern Colorado.
