Weekly River Report

September 10, 2026 

Summary: 

Rivers throughout the Roaring Fork Watershed are hitting all-time lows as they flow 12-36% of normal for this time of year. The Crystal River at the Hatchery is flowing 8.8 cfs, 12% of normal. Not far ahead is the Fryingpan River in Meredith flowing 12 cfs, 16% of normal. Water movement in Colorado and throughout the west is complex. Then, add a record-breaking drought year where procedures and protocols were implemented for the first time ever, and perhaps you have some questions. To get some of those answers, consider attending the Colorado River District’s Annual Water Seminar on Friday, September 18.  Leading water experts, decision-makers, and practitioners from across the state and throughout the Colorado River Basin will engage in timely conversations as they examine today’s challenges and discuss actions needed to prepare for the future.
