Instream Flow Administrative Calls

The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) monitors streamflow to ensure decreed instream flow (ISF) water rights are protected. If streamflow drops lower than the amount decreed to an ISF water right, and that right is in priority, staff may place an administrative call for water. The following table summarizes recent instream flow calls placed.
