The Colorado Water Congress was established in 1958 to provide leadership on key water resource issues and serve as the principal voice of Colorado’s water community. Our belief is that the state of Colorado’s water impacts the state’s overall well-being. We are dedicated to successful promotion of policy that supports high-quality, sustainable water supplies through protection of water rights, conservation, planning, management and infrastructure investment. As such, we strive for thoughtful and equitable development and administration of water laws, regulations, and compacts. The active engagement of our members relies primarily upon education, collaboration, and networking. CWC hosts events year-round, large and small - from the state's preeminent water industry convention to more intimate local events, all engendering collaboration, networking and professional development.
