The
Coalition for the Upper South Platte (CUSP) formed in 1998, and seeks
to improve and protect a watershed that covers approximately 2,600
square miles of central Colorado from the Continental Divide to
Strontia Springs Reservoir, southwest of Denver. The watershed is a
recreational mecca with over 1.2 million acres of public lands; it
provides municipal water for about 75% of Colorado’s residents; it is
renowned for its "gold-medal" fishing streams; and it is home to
numerous threatened and endangered species.
The
Upper South Platte Watershed varies in elevation from about 6,000 to
over 14,000 feet above sea level and contains five major municipal and
several smaller reservoirs.
