My Grandfather was born in the San Luis Valley in 1896, he raised a family and my Dad just passed away in 2021 at the age of 96. Dad lived his whole life in The Valley except for a 2 year commitment with the Navy in WW2. When my wife passes I’ll be back to the Valley. Gotta see Mount Blanca and the Rio Grande and Conejos Rivers. Miss it!
As a 40-plus year resident of the Front Range, I can tell you that there are many of us that side with you in preserving agriculture in the Valley, as well as other parts of Colorado. Developers, and the politicians they support, have, and will, allow and promote over development. They cash out, and the rest of us will be “high and dry” - literally - at some point. It’s not “if”, it’s a matter of “when”. You in the Valley, and others in Ag, need to solicit the help and support of us on the Front Range. Many of us will stand with you. BTW, I am not an “environmentalist”. I am a business owner that had adult children and grandchildren who were born, raised, and live on the Front Range. I’m concerned about our family being able to continue living in Colorado - with a high quality of life. Scarce water is only one concern. Over the top crime rates, traffic congestion, over taxation… there is no shortage of problems in Colorado.
Keep fighting the RWR. I live in Greeley & I support you in San Luis Valley. Don't let Denver/Front Range take your water. I love the area around Antontio, Colo ( spelling ) 😊
Water, a precious resource. The CWCB is wrong by making the rule on rainwater collections. Why? Because in a study some time ago, they found that only 3 percent of rainwater is actually absorbed in the soil and the rest is evaporated. So, why allow the rainwater to be carried away when it would benefit land owners for trees and crops?

Good luck people. They will never stop fighting for your water
Just look what happened to the Owen’s Valley in California. It’s pretty much a wasteland now. I hope the Valley preserves.
Stick to your guns! Water is the lifeblood of the San Luis Valley!

Douglass County wants water from the Valley, to provide for the overbuilding of development there. We should not sell out; our water is need here!
@@alvisjenkins1305what is the CWCB?
My grand- pa share stories working there, (dancing with God )grand-pa
Our water is not for profit.
Is there an update on the water rights? Did that company end up winning and pulled the water out?
Capulin flickers!!
The number one thing, no HOAs😮
