Colorado water runs on a record almost no one can read.
See what a water right allows, what it delivers and how often it’s cut off. Every fact sourced.

The record is scattered.
Checking one right means six to ten systems.
Listings oversell.
One promised “senior decreed rights dating to 1919.” They were cut off an average of 226 days a year.
Calls hit early.
In 2026 the Gunnison’s first call came April 20. A right’s cutoff history is public, but buried.
What we’re building
- Now
- Every Colorado water right, about 173,000, in one place. Refreshed nightly.
- Next
- A property’s whole water story in one report, and word when a filing or call reaches it.
Why
Water decides what Colorado can grow and build. It should be stewarded for the next generations, in plain sight.
