Call on the river goes into effect today

A call on the White River goes into effect today (Dec 1, 2022) following a decision by the Rio Blanco Water Conservancy District (RBWCD) board of directors last month to request administration of the river. As reported in the Nov. 17 edition of the HT, Colorado’s Division of Water Resources (DWR) will curtail or shut off junior water right diversions upstream of the Taylor Draw Dam in order to meet this administration request.
