Water use efficiency, funding navigation, lead line replacements, green infrastructure — it’s all happening in the Mountain states.
WaterNow has been active in the Colorado Basin since 2018 — with dozens of Accelerator projects focused on upscaling water use efficiency as a source of reliable supply. We also work to expand green infrastructure, establish pathways for utilities to invest in forested watersheds, and help underserved communities navigate water financing opportunities.
While most of the developed water supply in the inter-mountain West is dedicated to agriculture, it is the urban areas large and small that must supply basic water services to millions of people while preserving stressed natural resources for generations to come.
Green, distributed and nature-based strategies have potential to be a huge part of the solution, and states like Colorado are leading the way. Check out WaterNow’s Rocky Mountain projects and resources.
Resilience in the Rockies is a collaborative initiative from WaterNow and waterloop that explores how Colorado communities are advancing water conservation and efficiency as essential strategies for building long-term water resilience.
Through a four-part documentary series, Resilience in the Rockies highlights innovative programs, partnerships, and practical solutions from communities across Colorado that are working to stretch limited water supplies, strengthen local capacity, and build a more water-secure future.
The series brings together perspectives from municipal leaders, water utilities, policymakers, and community partners to share real-world examples, lessons learned, and opportunities to scale successful approaches across the state.
Explore the four episodes below to see how Colorado communities are putting water conservation into action.
Resilience in the Rockies is produced in collaboration by WaterNow and waterloop and made possible in part through funding from the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB). Special thanks to the Colorado Municipal League (CML) for serving as an outreach partner, and to PCL Construction, Norris Design, Merrick, the City of Greeley, and our additional sponsors for supporting the Resilience in the Rockies Summit.
