Revegetate or Dry Farm Formerly Irrigated Agricultural Land

Summary

The bill adds new rules for Colorado water courts when a farmer in Water Division 2 switches an irrigation water right to a different beneficial use.

The goal is to protect soils and water resources while allowing flexible water use.
