Canals and Pipelines

Delivering Water

Canals and pipelines are instrumental in delivering water to our many allottees and constituents. Every year, the Colorado-Big Thompson Project transports more than 200,000 acre-feet of water from the Upper Colorado River Basin to the East Slope through the Adams Tunnel. The C-BT Project’s East Slope distribution system contains 35 miles of tunnels and 95 miles of canals.
