Upper Colorado River Commission
The Upper Colorado River Commission (UCRC) is an interstate water administrative agency formed by the action of five state legislatures and Congress under the 1948 Upper Colorado River Basin Compact. Its primary mission is to manage and allocate water resources from the Colorado River among the Upper Division States of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico, while ensuring compliance with agreements established with the Lower Division States and the Republic of Mexico.
The Commission is responsible for streamgaging, forecasting water runoff, and analyzing data related to water usage and reservoir losses. By promoting interstate cooperation, the UCRC aims to mitigate conflicts, support agricultural and industrial development, and secure the effective management of water resources in the Upper Basin.
