About WIP
History
In August of 1994, the Southwestern Water Conservation District (SWCD), in cooperation with several water agencies and entities in southwestern Colorado, pooled their resources and created the Water Information Program (WIP). Although each participating entity has its own set of water-related priorities and issues, the WIP provides a common forum for communicating shared information and goals.
Administration
The SWCD is the lead agency providing staff and office space for the WIP. Each participating entity contributes to the Program based on their unique resources. In turn, the SWCD contributes a dollar-for-dollar match. In addition, each contributing partner occupies a seat on the WIP Steering Committee. The Steering Committee meets approximately three time per year to provide program oversight and direction.
