CURRENT
RICD WATER RIGHT
Healthy Rivers has advanced a plan to implement a Recreational In-Channel Diversion (RICD) water right that protect future flows of the Roaring Fork River by granting Pitkin County the right to call water down the river to the whitewater park in Basalt.
In early 2017, Healthy Rivers completed a whitewater park in Basalt that is both a community amenity AND protects future flows of the Roaring Fork river.
Modifications to the park are underway in winter 2020.
Healthy Rivers collaborated with Pitkin County Open Space and Trails, ACES, and Holy Cross Energy to install an Osprey Cam in Emma, Colorado. The feed is available seasonally and provides a great way to keep tabs on our avian neighbors.
