Our Mission Statement
Perform and facilitate interdisciplinary and collaborative research, education, outreach, and dialogue to address the water issues facing the Upper Colorado River Basin.
The Upper Colorado River Basin is facing increasing demands on water resources, and there are many unanswered questions about how these demands could affect the region's environment and communities. The Ruth Powell Hutchins Water Center at CMU seeks to coordinate research, education, and dialogue on these important issues.
We also sponsor continuing education classes and seminars for the general public. Additionally, CMU's Tomlinson Library has a digital Western Water Resources collection that aims to educate communities on a variety of water topics.
