The District sponsors the Alamosa River Watershed <br />Project (ARWP), which was established in 1995 as a combined effort of local landowners, water <br />users, and concerned citizens, with a primary goal of stabilizing bank erosion and improving <br />riparian habitat along the Alamosa River. ARWP is completing the study phase of river <br />restoration projects estimated to cost $931,000 over the next 4 years. 37 sub-projects (Phases <br />1, 2, and 3) have been identified through a conceptual design study to complete the over-all <br />restoration project, and will cost $527,000 for engineering, design, and construction. These sub- <br />projects are to be completed through cooperative efforts of the ARWP members, with funding <br />administered through the District. Proposed funding for Phases 1, 2, and 3 consists of a CWCB <br />grant for $300,000, and $227,000 from the District and other sponsors. <br /> <br />Location Map <br /> <br />6 <br />
