Windy Gap Firming Project

The Windy Gap Firming Project is a water supply initiative in Colorado that aims to reliably provide additional water to Northern Colorado communities. It involves constructing a new reservoir upstream from the existing Windy Gap Reservoir to store water during wetter periods and release it during dry times. This helps ensure a consistent water supply for agricultural, municipal, and environmental needs, reducing shortages caused by droughts or variable flow conditions. The project enhances water security while balancing environmental considerations and existing water rights.
