Central Yuma County Ground Water Management is a local organization dedicated to preserving and conserving the farming industry in Eastern Colorado for future generations. Through federal programs like the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), they have successfully retired thousands of irrigated acres to conserve the Ogallala Aquifer. Their top priorities include maintaining compliance with the Compact, promoting water conservation through various programs, and restoring streamflow and recreation in the South Fork Republican River.
With a focus on incentivizing local producers to participate in conservation efforts, Central Yuma County Ground Water Management offers annual incentives through programs like CREP and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). They also provide information and resources to help farmers and ranchers qualify for these incentives and contribute to water conservation in the RRWCD Basin. By making decisions today that prioritize water conservation, they aim to secure economic possibilities for future generations in the Northern High Plains Basin.
