Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District launches watershed data dashboard
The Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District has launched a new website gathering historic, current and forecasted watershed data from the Yampa River Basin last week.
The new website, the Yampa River Dashboard, provides a centralized location to access watershed data as a way to assist local water managers and the public with timely information related to recreation, water quality standards, flood irrigation and reservoir management.
“The new Yampa River Dashboard is an essential tool for the City in our ongoing efforts to monitor, protect and enhance the health of the Yampa River,” said Julie Baxter, water resources manager for the City of Steamboat Springs, in a statement. “The dashboard is also a valuable resource for community members, offering updated information on river conditions.”
The Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District is encouraging both water professionals and the public to utilize the new tool.
Whether looking for recreational opportunities, timing flood irrigation, managing reservoir releases, or looking for water quality standards, users can find the data needed to make more informed decisions about the Yampa River.
