BACKGROUND

The Mancos Project serves over 13,000 acres of the Mancos Valley and consists of Jackson Gulch Dam and Reservoir. This is an off-river storage project with a feeder canal running 2.6 miles from the West Mancos river and a return canal of 2.2 miles back to the West Mancos river. The Project is located in southwestern Colorado and provides irrigation water for over 13,000 acres along with municipal water for Mesa Verde National park, the Mancos Rural Water Company and the Town of Mancos. A hydroelectric power plant has been added and provides power for approximately 50 homes in the vicinity.
