After decades of work and collaboration, Colorado Parks and Wildlife initiated the first release of water from the Chatfield Reservoir Environmental Pool to increase flows in the South Platte River below the reservoir. The historic release provided three cubic feet per second of water into the South Platte to alleviate low flow conditions, support aquatic life and enhance ecosystem function. This inaugural release marked the culmination of nearly two decades of vision, partnerships, construction and execution. With the current state and unknown future state of water in Colorado, The Greenway Foundation is honored to have been a part of this visionary project along with a long list of amazing partners and supporters.
