Division Offices by Major River Basin(s)
| The Colorado Division of Water Resources Division Offices are located in the seven major river basins throughout the state. (Select a Division Office from the state map on the right or from the menu on the left to jump to Division-specific information.)
Division Offices employ Water Commissioners to ensure that the priority system is followed, enforcing the decrees and water laws of the State of Colorado. Other Division Office staff manage use and measurement rules to ensure that Colorado remains in compliance with interstate and interbasin agreements. Hydrographers in these offices measure streamflow and reservoir levels and manage the state-wide satellite monitoring system. Hydrogeologists analyze well logs and measure well level to determine aquifer characteristics. Dam safety engineers verify the safety of Colorado's dams and inspect dam construction projects.
