Restoring the Rio Grande with Federal Funding: Colorado

July 24, 2026

The story of the Rio Grande begins in Colorado, where the river’s headwaters shape the health and future of the entire basin. In part two of our three-part series on how federal funding turns ideas about watershed restoration and resilience into on-the-ground projects on the river, we explore how Bureau of Reclamation WaterSMART funding is leading to collaboration and results in the San Luis Valley. You can read part one, focused on New Mexico’s Rio Grande project work, HERE.

Before the Rio Grande reaches New Mexico and Texas, it passes through the high mountains and agricultural valleys of southern Colorado. Here is where Rocky Mountain snowmelt becomes streamflow and where decisions about land and water management shape the realities of communities and habitats far downstream.

An early June field tour in Colorado’s San Luis Valley brought us to the Rio Grande’s headwaters, where representatives from restoration and sporting organizations, irrigation and conservation districts, municipal entities, and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation program managers showcased WaterSMART-funded projects for bipartisan Congressional staff. The Bureau’s WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America’s Resources for Tomorrow) program is one of the primary federal funding sources dedicated to addressing Western water management and drought-related challenges.

A consistent theme that emerged on the Colorado tour was how deliberately partners in the San Luis Valley have designed projects and watershed planning documents to deliver multiple outcomes and benefits to communities and users across the upper basin.

Collaboration for Multiple Benefits

In this northern section of the Rio Grande Basin, restoration work rarely serves a single purpose. Projects are structured to advance overlapping priorities: sustaining agriculture; improving habitat and watershed function; strengthening water security and resilience; reducing wildfire and drought risk; and supporting local economies that depend on healthy rivers.

That multi-benefit approach reflects years of intentional partnership-building among landowners, farmers and ranchers, water managers, conservation groups, state and local agencies, and federal partners who have learned how to find common ground in shared challenges. The San Luis Valley has mastered collaboration and how to meet mutually beneficial goals. Residents know that healthy rivers and watersheds matter to everyone, even if the reasons differ. That shared understanding allows projects to move forward with support from diverse constituencies that might not otherwise sit on the same side of an issue.

Throughout the day, partners showcased WaterSMART-funded efforts from across the San Luis Valley, including projects that simultaneously restored fish habitat while upgrading irrigation infrastructure; a project that increased recreational opportunity while reducing water use; another that improved data, planning, and tools for tracking and trading water across the region; and more. Entities that supported the TRCP-led tour included:

U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
Ducks Unlimited
Rio Grande Headwaters Restoration Project
Rio Grande Water Conservation District
City of Alamosa
San Luis Valley Irrigation District

The WaterSMART program has funded over 2,100 projects and 270 planning documents totaling over $12.1 billion, enabling larger project work in Western states.

During an opening presentation on how the WaterSMART program functions and what it funds, Susan Storm, the Bureau of Reclamation’s Alamosa Field Division manager, remarked that the program “is so important for communities to get work done faster and more efficiently. It’s an excellent way to support community projects and the work is often better targeted to specific needs when managed locally.”

For sportsmen and sportswomen, these projects translate into more and higher quality water in the river, more resilient and functional riparian corridors, and improved habitat conditions. Efforts to protect Rio Grande headwaters health support hunting and angling opportunities across the entire basin, including in Southern Colorado and downstream throughout New Mexico and Texas.

A Funding Source for Bipartisan Values

Congressional staff members from Colorado offices on both sides of the aisle joined the field tour, demonstrating a shared recognition that management of threatened water resources requires collaboration. In small communities, that instinct often comes naturally as neighbors work together on shared challenges. At the federal level, the dynamics are more complex, but the underlying need is the same.

We’ve seen that cooperation translated into durable support for Western water priorities, including programs like WaterSMART, where bipartisan backing has advanced projects that deliver shared benefits across the West. In 2026, the president’s budget proposed complete elimination of the WaterSMART program. Senators and representatives from both sides of the aisle, however, recognized the importance of maintaining the funding source. As a result, while 2026 funding levels were lower than previous years, the program was preserved.

Another example of collaboration is the bipartisan effort underway in both the House and Senate to reauthorize one of WaterSMART’s key sub-programs, the Cooperative Watershed Management Program (CWMP), which expires at the end of 2026. The CWMP supports watershed group development, restoration planning, and project planning and design. CWMP serves as an important funding source for many organizations across the Rio Grande Basin and the Western U.S. who are working to build partnerships, develop project roadmaps, and advance on-the-ground solutions to water challenges.

It’s possible to work together around shared values despite differences, and the folks in the San Luis Valley are a clear example of that. With limited resources, they understand the value of coming together to tackle challenges so that everyone benefits. Across Colorado, WaterSMART has provided more than $77 million to support efforts to address water reliability and resilience. Continued investment through WaterSMART and other federal funding programs is essential to keep that work moving forward.

Public Land Sales, Exchanges, and Transfers, Explained

America’s public lands belong to all Americans and support our nation’s hunting, fishing, and conservation heritage. Here’s how land sales, exchanges, and transfers work – and how TRCP evaluates them, guided by transparency, sound science, and accountability to the public.

At TRCP, we believe America’s public lands are one of our nation’s greatest conservation success stories – providing unmatched hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation opportunities – but from time to time, these lands become the subject of sales, exchanges, or transfers out of federal ownership, often to meet community, infrastructure, or land management needs. Understanding what these transactions mean, and how to evaluate them, is the first step for hunters and anglers who want a voice in the outcome. Below, we break down how land transactions occur, why they happen and walk through the four questions TRCP asks before taking a position on any proposal.

Let’s Start With a Few Definitions

Not all public land proposals are the same. Understanding the type of transaction – and the process behind it – is the first step to understanding how TRCP evaluates these proposals.

Most transactions fall into one of two categories:

Disposal: A disposal moves land out of federal ownership or federal management. Disposals generally take one of two forms:
- Sale – Federal land is sold, typically into private ownership. Federal agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management have limited authority to sell certain parcels when doing so meets specific statutory requirements and serves the public interest.
- Transfer – Ownership or management responsibility moves from the federal government to another public entity, such as a state, local government, or Tribe. Depending on the proposal, transfers may or may not maintain long-term public ownership and public access.

Exchange: A land exchange swaps federal land for non-federal land. These transactions are often used to consolidate fragmented parcels, improve public access, protect important fish and wildlife habitat, or make land management more efficient.

Either a disposal or an exchange can happen through one of two processes:

Administrative: A federal land agency, such as the BLM or the Forest Service, carries out the transaction under its existing statutory authority.

Congressionally Directed: Congress authorizes or directs the transaction through legislation. These bills may involve individual parcels, community infrastructure needs, Tribal land transfers, boundary adjustments, conservation exchanges, or broader land disposal proposals.

All these tools have existed for decades and continue to play an important role in public land management. Regardless of its path, the question isn’t whether these transactions should ever occur, but whether each one truly serves the public interest and, protects the values that make America’s public lands so important.

From Disposal to Stewardship

America’s approach to public lands has changed over time. During the nation’s early history, the federal government held more than 1.8 billion acres of public domain. Much of that land was conveyed to states, railroads, homesteaders, and private owners to support westward expansion, settlement, and economic development.

By the 1970s, however, the country’s priorities had changed. As communities grew and Americans increasingly valued outdoor recreation, wildlife habitat, and clean water, Congress adopted the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) in 1976. FLPMA fundamentally shifted federal policy from one that generally favored disposing of public lands to one that generally favors retaining them in federal ownership unless disposal serves important public objectives and follows a transparent public process.

FLPMA did not eliminate public land sales or exchanges. Congress intentionally preserved these authorities in limited circumstances for the purpose of community benefit and to create improvements to public land management.

Not Every Acre Is the Same

Hunters and anglers understand that not every federal parcel provides the same conservation, recreational, or community value. Some parcels may be appropriate for disposal when they are isolated, difficult to manage, or needed to support growing communities and where disposal serves the public interest.

Technology has changed how we value public lands, however, and acreage alone rarely tells the full story.

When FLPMA was enacted in 1976, many small federal parcels were difficult to locate, access, and fully appreciate. Today, GPS technology and digital mapping platforms allow hunters and anglers to easily locate and navigate small parcels that provide outstanding habitat and recreation values or provide access to larger public landscapes. A forty-acre parcel that once appeared insignificant may now unlock thousands of acres of public access, hold big bucks during the rut, or protect a critical stretch of stream.

How TRCP Evaluates Disposal and Exchange Proposals

At TRCP, we do not start from the assumption that a proposal is automatically acceptable or unacceptable. We evaluate each one on its own merits, guided by four simple questions.

1. Does it provide a clear public benefit?

Any proposal should demonstrate a lasting public benefit and should not be sold to primarily generate revenue or reduce the federal estate. Done right, land sales or exchanges could help communities address infrastructure needs, resolve long-standing boundary issues, or improve management efficiency and access. It’s important to ensure those benefits are clearly demonstrated in any proposal.

2. Does it safeguard or improve hunting, fishing, access, and fish and wildlife habitat?

Public lands support some of the finest hunting and fishing opportunities in the world. At TRCP, we know that some public lands contain irreplaceable access points and/or fish and wildlife habitat. Those lands provide benefits that extend far beyond their acreage and should remain in public ownership whenever possible. Conversely, proposals that reduce public access, eliminate hunting and fishing opportunities, or diminish the outdoor experience warrant significant concern.

3. Was the proposal developed through a transparent public process?

Because these lands belong to all Americans, decisions about their future should not occur behind closed doors. Meaningful public involvement produces better decisions and builds public trust.

4. Will conservation continue to benefit?

When land is sold, Americans shouldn’t lose that asset forever. Reinvesting proceeds into new public lands, access projects, or habitat conservation ensures the public receives a lasting benefit *. Hunters and anglers have long supported carefully targeted public land transactions when they create lasting conservation benefits.

When a proposal raises concerns on any of these fronts, TRCP works with lawmakers, agencies, and partners to improve it, identify better conservation outcomes, and ensure hunters and anglers have a meaningful voice throughout the public process.

* One of the clearest examples is the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act (FLTFA). Permanently reauthorized by Congress in 2018 with broad support from the sporting community, FLTFA uses proceeds from the sale of appropriate Bureau of Land Management parcels to acquire higher-value conservation lands, improve public access, and protect fish and wildlife habitat – reinvesting those dollars into strengthening America’s public lands system.

Why TRCP Opposes Large-Scale Disposal Proposals

These principles also explain why TRCP has consistently opposed proposals requiring the large-scale disposal or transfer of millions of acres of public land.

Broad disposal proposals generally do not allow individual parcels to be evaluated on their conservation values, recreational importance, public access, or local community benefits. Instead, they often rely on sweeping acreage targets or broad eligibility criteria that make it difficult to determine whether any individual transaction truly serves the public interest.

TRCP recognizes that targeted land sales and exchanges have long played an important role in public land management and has supported transactions that were developed transparently with robust public engagement and evaluated on their individual merits. That kind of parcel-by-parcel scrutiny is fundamentally different from large-scale disposal mandates, which can put millions of acres on the table without any comparable evaluation. TRCP remains willing to support thoughtful, individual disposals and exchanges that benefit hunters and anglers and meet the criteria outlined above – our opposition is to broad, unevaluated mandates, not to the tools themselves.

Conserving a Shared Legacy

Public lands are one of America’s great shared inheritances. The next time a sale, exchange, or transfer proposal surfaces, these are the questions worth asking – and TRCP will keep asking them on behalf of hunters, anglers, and everyone who depends on public lands.

800+ Pages, Five Priorities: What TRCP Looks for in Farm Bill Text

From wildlife habitat to clean water, here’s the lens TRCP applies to every page of Farm Bill text.

Between the House-passed Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026 and the recently released discussion draft of the Senate Agricultural Act of 2026 – each over 800 pages of bill text – TRCP and our partners have our work cut out for us, examining Farm Bill proposals and evaluating their likely impacts on hunters, anglers, and the fish and wildlife we rely on. But what are we actually looking for in these proposals? What drives whether we support or oppose a given provision?

If you’ve never thought much about the Farm Bill, you’re not alone – it’s easy to assume a bill about agriculture has nothing to do with hunting and fishing. But the Farm Bill funds a suite of voluntary, incentive-based conservation programs – things like the Conservation Reserve Program, Environmental Quality Incentives Program, Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program, and Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, among dozens of others in the conservation title – that quietly shape the habitat, water, and access hunters and anglers depend on every season, while also helping the farmers, ranchers, and foresters who steward that land keep it productive and healthy for generations to come. It really comes down to five priorities we use as our lens on every page. In no particular order, here they are:

1. Wildlife Habitat

If there is good wildlife habitat on a farm or ranch in this country, it’s probably there because a landowner made a conscious decision to maintain it. Farm Bill programs make that decision easier for landowners by providing financial and technical assistance to create, enhance, or maintain habitat. When we look at Farm Bill proposals, we’re looking for ideas that increase the pace and scale of this habitat work.

2. Clean Water

Hunters, especially upland and waterfowl hunters, have long understood that Farm Bill conservation programs lead to better opportunities. What’s often been missed is that these same programs often have even bigger impacts on water quality and quantity – and therefore fish populations. We want clean, clear lakes, rivers, and streams, not just in wilderness areas or at the tops of mountains, but across the country. Farm Bill impacts on water are a top priority as we evaluate proposals.

3. Access

Most hunters and anglers rely on private land access. Sometimes that comes from generational landownership, friends and family, or good old-fashioned door knocking. But often -and especially for new or relocated hunters and anglers – that isn’t enough. We evaluate every Farm Bill provision for its access impacts, both positive and negative.

4. Habitat Connectivity

Even in places with plenty of public land, wildlife relies on private lands for food, water, and safe passage. Farm Bill programs can help make sure pronghorn and mule deer can reach winter forage and mallards have quality nesting and stopover sites. We evaluate proposals to make sure they live up to that potential.

5. Production for the Long Haul

Agriculture produces much of the food, fiber, and fuel the U.S. – and the world – relies on, and that production matters to all of us. Ag and forestry production also provides an economic incentive to maintain open spaces. But we can’t let today’s production come at the expense of tomorrow’s. Healthy soil and clean water aren’t just good for farmers and ranchers – they’re good for the habitat and fisheries downstream. When we review Farm Bill provisions, we’re looking for policies that leave the next generation of farmers, ranchers, and foresters with the same – or better – resources than we have today.

These five lenses are how we turn over 1,600 pages of legislative text into a position. The Farm Bill may never get the airtime of a public lands fight or a hunting season opener, but it shapes more than most sportsmen and women realize. As both bills move through committee and floor votes this year, we’ll keep breaking down what’s at stake for hunters and anglers.

You can help. Conservation is, and should be, a shared priority regardless of party affiliation or ideology. Congress needs to hear that this is important to you. Take action HERE.

The Hunter & Angler’s Guide to the Farm Bill

We know it can be challenging to break through the alphabet soup of program acronyms to understand why the reauthorization and improvement of Farm Bill conservation programs is a top priority. In The Hunter & Anglers Guide to the Farm Bill, we demystify the Farm Bill and the crucial conservations programs that sportsmen and women should care about.

Restoring the Rio Grande with Federal Funding: New Mexico

As the first in a three-part series highlighting 2026 project tours in New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas, TRCP highlights here how stakeholders led Congressional staff on a tour of project work to see firsthand how WaterSMART grants yield on-the-ground impacts to protect water supplies and fish and wildlife habitat in central New Mexico

It’s no secret that Western water supplies are under stress from long-term drought and hotter, drier weather, especially this year. At the same time, federal funding for Western water management and fish and wildlife habitat has been shrinking, creating uncertainty around the ability to address critical water challenges across the West that impact not only sportsmen and women but also millions of people in communities across the region.

The Bureau of Reclamation’s WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America’s Resources for Tomorrow) program is one of the primary federal funding sources dedicated to addressing Western water management and drought-related challenges.

Over a three-part series, we will take you on a journey through the Rio Grande Basin to explore how this funding source in particular is essential for water security and habitat improvement projects along the iconic Rio Grande. We start our journey in the heart of the river basin: central New Mexico.

Diverse Projects Throughout New Mexico

In late May, the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership hosted Congressional offices for a field tour and discussion of WaterSMART-funded projects and watershed management planning documents in New Mexico’s portion of the Rio Grande River Basin. River restoration and conservation organizations, water utilities, agricultural producers, and more who receive funding from WaterSMART programs from across the state convened to present on their projects. These projects ranged from watershed restoration and planning efforts to infrastructure efficiency upgrades and agricultural modernization. The tour included a wide diversity of projects, exhibiting just how versatile this federal funding source is in offering solutions to a myriad of Western water issues.

Habitat restoration is not simply a localized environmental effort, but a basin-wide necessity with far-reaching benefits across the watershed.

The tour began at a riverside beach in Albuquerque to discuss the background of the WaterSMART program, the different funding mechanisms under the program, and the current state of the program. Throughout the day, grantees —including nonprofit organizations, an Indigenous Pueblo, acequia (community-managed irrigation canal) representatives, and more —presented on their WaterSMART-funded projects. These included projects aimed at planning for drought, reducing woody fuels in forested areas to increase wildfire resilience, and scaling up riparian restoration to improve fish and wildlife habitat and stream function.

The group visited the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority Southside Wastewater Reclamation Plant to see a restoration project completed last fall. This project restored riparian and aquatic habitat, reconnected the river to its floodplain within a degraded reach, and improved public access through the creation of riverside trails. While visiting the project site, we saw two young men fishing from the newly restored and stabilized riverbank, an area where the public previously lacked safe access to the river or opportunities to enjoy activities such as fishing.

Partners supporting the New Mexico tour were numerous and included:

U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
Audubon Southwest
World Wildlife Fund
Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District
Albuquerque-Bernalillo Water Utility Authority
Pueblo of Acoma
New Mexico Acequia Association
Chama Peak Land Alliance
Santa Fe Watershed Association

Lasting Impressions

Staff from four of New Mexico’s five U.S. Senate and House offices were present during the tour, and more than one shared that the experience gave them a deeper understanding of the WaterSMART program after seeing firsthand the range of projects it supports across the state.

The WaterSMART program has seen an approximately 70% reduction in funding between 2025 and 2026.

Attendees remarked that what resonated most was how interconnected the work across the Rio Grande Basin truly is, and how actions like fuels reduction and streambank restoration projects in the headwaters of northern New Mexico can improve the quantity and quality of water flowing to communities far downstream to the south. Indeed, investments in both infrastructure and habitat restoration throughout the watershed benefit the entire river system and all who rely on the Rio Grande, from hunters and anglers to cities to agricultural producers. Habitat restoration is not simply a localized environmental effort, but a basin-wide necessity with far-reaching benefits across the watershed.

An Invaluable Funding Source

With the Rio Grande as a backdrop, the TRCP explained to tour attendees that the WaterSMART program has seen an approximately 70% reduction in funding between 2025 and 2026 and currently faces additional cuts and program changes in the draft 2027 federal appropriations bill. Notably, the WaterSMART Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program, which focuses on improving the health of fisheries, wildlife, and aquatic habitat, is facing total elimination.

The WaterSMART program is widely successful across the West, having funded 2,144 projects and 270 planning documents totaling over $12.1 billion – achievements that would otherwise not be attainable for states. One grantee noted that “projects like these…have incredible societal, economic, and environmental benefits, but are often outside the budgetary constraints of small and rural communities.” This is true for larger, municipal entities, too. While states often provide matching funds for accessing these dollars, the federal investment is often necessary for enabling these “big ticket” projects.

In the weeks following the tour, the Bureau of Reclamation has released a number of Notices of Funding Opportunity for various WaterSMART programs, including those that support drought response activities, watershed planning, and infrastructure efficiency upgrades. The TRCP is encouraged to see agency efforts to continue the program with previous-year funding despite the fact that future funding remains uncertain.

Although our group thankfully timed the tour perfectly to see water actually flowing through the riverbed, the Rio Grande went dry through Albuquerque just a couple of days later and is expected to remain barren until summer rains arrive. This is a stark reminder of the dire situation this river, and others throughout the Southwest, are facing. Federal investments in programs like WaterSMART can continue helping communities plan and implement actions to better manage water supplies and improve fish and wildlife habitat for current and future generations.

And stay tuned for parts two and three of our Restoring the Rio Grande with Federal Funding blog series: next up, we will take you to the headwaters of the Rio Grande in Colorado, before a visit to its terminus in South Texas.

AZ State Budget a Win for Fisheries & Wildlife, But Highlights Future Needs for Water Protections

Bipartisan budget approved for 2027 after weeks of negotiations between state lawmakers and the Governor

After a challenging negotiation period, the Arizona State Legislature and Governor Hobbs agreed on a budget for the next fiscal year which includes some major wins for the hunting and fishing community and highlights avenues for future state investment in water and habitat conservation for fish and wildlife. Here’s a quick rundown.

Funds for Fisheries, Wildlife Crossings

One of the greatest wins in this year’s budget was the approval of $11.55 million to improve and modernize fish hatcheries throughout the state. The Arizona Game and Fish Department will use these funds to repair critical fish hatchery infrastructure and install technologies which will improve water use efficiency, prevent disease in hatchery populations, and increase fish production. The outcome of this investment will result in more healthy fish stocked in the state’s fishing ponds, streams, rivers, and lakes, bolstering rural economies and improving opportunities for Arizona anglers for generations to come.

In a separate win for wildlife connectivity, $700,000 was included in the state budget for wildlife crossing implementation and planning, which will improve habitat connectivity and increase motorist safety. Additionally, the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM) was allocated $10 million for wildfire suppression funding. This funding will also help address the need for vegetative fuels mitigation to improve forest and watershed health.

In a tight budget year, several other wins came in the form of avoiding cuts to critical departments that support natural resource protection, such as the Arizona Department of Water Resources and DFFM.

Action for Water Protection, but Room for Further Funding

Given the dire state of decreasing water levels in the Colorado River Basin, the West facing one of the lowest snowpacks on record, projected high wildfire risk this season, and ongoing drought, further financial commitment by the state to protect water supplies and fish and wildlife habitat is now more crucial than ever.

With ongoing negotiations among the seven Colorado River states, there was a notable budget win for water, with $9.5 million included to maintain the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality’s water protection programs that protect aquifers and ensure safe drinking water. Yet given the extreme drought conditions across the Basin, there is more work to be done.

A recent poll highlighted the ongoing water shortage crisis as the number-one issue of importance for Arizona voters. Despite this, several proposed budget items, such as creating a Colorado River Protection Fund (which the poll also indicated was strongly supported by voters) and funds for invasive salt cedar removal in riparian areas, which both had the potential to safeguard water and habitat resources in the state, were left out in budget negotiations.

The federal government has recently made its position clear: Addressing the effects of drought on Colorado River water supplies and Arizona’s economy must be a shared financial responsibility. Federal funding is likely available in the near term to assist Arizona water users to respond to drought, and as a path forward, Arizona should reduce its water usage and commit to durable solutions to address the Colorado River crisis in partnership with the other Basin states. Investing state dollars toward Colorado River water conservation is a viable avenue for establishing a good-faith water reduction plan while encouraging the other Basin states to do the same.

Looking Ahead

We can all celebrate the wins of this state budget cycle, but rest assured that TRCP will continue to urge decision makers to invest state resources to protect the land and waters we all depend on.
