The Upper Colorado River Commission, with funding from the Bureau of Reclamation, in partnership with the Upper Division States, is implementing 72 System Conservation Pilot Program (SCPP) projects for 2023. The estimated conservation from the projects is 39,178 acre-feet for 2023. This 2023 conservation volume represents the largest single year of conservation achieved in Upper Division States’ programs to date. Lessons learned during the SCPP process and project implementation will inform future conservation and water management programs.
