Grants of up to $500 to Colorado individuals and organizations in Routt and Moffat Counties for the purchase and installation of water measuring or control devices in the Upper Yampa watershed. This program offers grants to entities with irrigation infrastructure affected by water diversion and regulations.

As a local agency promoting the protection of water rights and beneficial use of water, the UYWCD is offering grants to those with irrigation infrastructure affected by the administration of water by the Division of Water Resources.

The installation must be approved by the Division of Water Resources, Division 6, Division Engineer as acceptable for administration.
