Arkansas River Watershed Collaborative

“Arwc member entities are organizations affiliated with the arkansas basin roundtable, which were generally identified through colorado state legislative action (hb05-117) to "support diverse stakeholders to ensure process, application and public involvement in developing basin-wide water needs assessment. Statutory roundtable members are appointed, representing counties, municipalities, and water conservancy districts, as required by 37-75-104 c.r.s. (2005)." in addition, the roundtable includes at large members and non-voting members who bring interests in environment, recreation, and other water issues. All members of the roundtable are de facto members of arwc. The board of directors, at its discretion, may in the future create additional classes of members. The board of directors shall include individuals who serve as the executive committee of the roundtable. These members are elected from among the members of the roundtable, pursuant to the roundtable bylaws. Additional individuals may serve on the board of directors.”
