Know Water,  Know Colorado.

In Colorado, water makes everything possible.

​To know water is to better understand our state.  Since 1995, the Arkansas River Basin Water Forum has provided a friendly, constructive medium where individuals and organizations are able to explain their views and engage in open dialogue with other water users.

What's New

CANCELED: 2021 Arkansas River Basin Water Forum  ​

 Out of an abundance of caution to keep our community healthy and safe, the ARBWF board of directors has canceled the 2021 Arkansas River Basin Water Forum

Upcoming Tours 

We enter 2021 amid changes that began in 2020. The board’s decision to not host a large in-person indoor event in 2021 was made for everyone’s safety. 
Instead, we are developing a number of small outdoor tours for 2021.  

KRDO News 13 Covers the Forum

Sen. Cory Gardner was the keynote speaker at the Arkansas River Basin Water forum. One of his greatest water concerns for Colorado is that there's still no water pipeline in Southeastern Colorado after nearly 60 years of waiting.

The Arkansas River Basin Water Forum is a 501 (c)3 non-profit that serves as a conduit for information about the Arkansas River Basin in Colorado, and for issues related to water allocation and management.  Through our annual Forums, a wider understanding of water issues has evolved and along with it the opportunity to find common ground.
