Colorado Drought Resources at DNR

Drought affects every part of Colorado — from rivers, forests and wildlife to farms, communities, recreation and water supplies. The Colorado Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and its divisions work with local, state, federal and community partners to monitor conditions, plan for water shortages, reduce risks and help Coloradans prepare for drought impacts.

This page brings together drought-related resources from across the DNR in one place. Use it to find current water supply information, planning tools, grant and funding opportunities, wildfire and watershed resources, recreation guidance, and information about how Colorado is responding to dry conditions now and planning for a more resilient water future.
