UYWCD introduces Yampa River Dashboard
Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District announced the launch of the Yampa River Dashboard, a new information hub that gathers historic, current, and forecasted data specific to the Yampa River Basin from multiple sources using a curated collection of easy-to-use data tools based on user interest.
Accessible at YourYampaRiver.org, users can explore data in the following four categories: watershed health, watershed management, agriculture and land, and recreation. The landing page for each of these categories contains customized tools that includes data from multiple sources, links to existing sites, and additional resources.
The Yampa River Dashboard was developed in collaboration with the Yampa-White-Green Basin Roundtable, City of Steamboat Springs, Friends of the Yampa, Colorado Water Trust, LRE Water, Colorado River Water Conservation District and other stakeholders who provided valuable feedback on product design.
