Grand County Water Information Network
WHAT DOES GCWIN DO
Established in 2004, the Grand County Water Information Network (GCWIN) continues to serve its community, partners, and the state of Colorado, by providing:​
Watershed Monitoring:
GCWIN conducts routine monitoring in many water bodies throughout Grand County. These data are shared with stakeholders to assess the health of the water and identify potential issues. ​
Data Management:
GCWIN manages and maintains a comprehensive, publicly accessible database of watershed data. These data are used to track trends, inform decision-making, and support research and restoration efforts. ​
Education and Outreach:
GCWIN provides educational programs and resources to the community. This includes workshops, presentations, and materials aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of watershed health and resilience. ​
Collaboration:
GCWIN works with various stakeholders, including government agencies, non-profits, and community groups, to promote awareness of watershed health and protection efforts.
Our rivers and lakes are irreplaceable. Let’s take care of them.
