Part of: Urban and Regional Conflict Resolution in Water Related Issues

Abstract:

The Yampa River, located in northwest Colorado, is a major tributary of the Green River segment of the Colorado River system. Potential water resource development in the Yampa River Basin is currently impacted by the presence of listed endangered fish species. The recovery of the endangered fishes and water development adequate to meet future basin demands may be able to coexist if acceptable alternatives can be found and implemented.
