The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) is responsible for convening the Water Conditions Monitoring Committee (WCMC) - formerly Water Availability Task Force. The WCMC monitors conditions that affect Colorado’s water supply, including snowpack, reservoir storage, streamflow, historical climate norms, long term precipitation and temperature outlooks, and climate variations.
The CWCB coordinates across the Water Supply Planning Section and the Watershed & Flood Protection Section to also monitor and provide updates on flood conditions. Additionally, CWCB coordinates with agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources, the Division of Water Resources, and the Department of Local Affairs. The CWCB also collaborates with external partners like Colorado State University's Colorado Climate Center and the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS). These groups collectively support monthly meetings of the WCMC.
The next WCMC meeting will be on Tuesday, April 23, 2024.
