Hydrohistorian

Working models of Colorado's water districts, built from the state's own public records. Each basin is modeled as a flow network — every gage, diversion, and return placed at its river mile, walked downstream as a mass balance — then connected to its diversion history (daily records back to 1950), long-term flow statistics, and the water-rights layer: decrees, priority dates, and the administrative calls that explain why diversions start and stop — now joined by the groundwater beneath it all: monitored wells, water-table trends, and the stream–aquifer connection, basin by basin.

Data
Colorado DWR records — surface AND ground water: stations, structures, diversion records, water-rights net amounts, administrative calls, monitored wells and their water levels — from the state's bulk HydroBase archive plus live REST, cross-checked against USGS's own published records. Every page reports its own real coverage and sources.
Per basin
A longitudinal flow schematic, a date picker to reconstruct any historical day, trend & changepoint statistics per gage, and a legal view: seniority, compliance screens, and call-based stoppage explanations with links to court records.
My Water
Add your own WDIDs and every visit answers the daily question directly: is an active call senior to your rights right now, did a new court case attach to your structure, did the state quietly revise your published record — plus your right's real historical yield, and a printable dossier per structure. Free account to start.
Groundwater
The aquifer beneath each river: 34,000+ monitored wells and over a million water-level measurements back to 1883, classified by aquifer regime, with per-well trends, stream-corridor water-table histories, an advisory stream-depletion screen — and a 3D aquifer x-ray: every unit (alluvial, Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, Laramie–Fox Hills) as its own head surface under the land, animated across a century. Clearly labeled, never a substitute for DWR administration.
Status meanings
