Kirk Klancke - President, Colorado Headwaters Chapter, Trout Unlimited

Let's talk about water! Kirk and I discuss the challenges with stream health in Grand County.

We cover a wide range of topics, including the history of water diversion, the chronology of water projects including the Grand Ditch, the Moffat Tunnel, the Three Lakes Project and the Windy Gap project. The result of these water projects has decrease the water flow on the Fraser River by 60%.

We had a little fun with fancy terms - Macroinvertebrates aka bugs, play a HUGE role in stream health and the fish who live there.
