Two Rivers Water has executed an agreement with the Pueblo Board of Water Works for the lease and exchange of 500 acre-feet of water into Two Rivers' storage facilities in Colorado, US.
Water will be stored in Two Rivers' upstream reservoirs against water delivered by the Pueblo municipal water entity to the confluence of the Huerfano and Arkansas rivers in south-east Colorado.
The stored water will help the irrigation of Two Rivers' 16km² farming complexes in Pueblo and Huerfano counties.
Two Rivers Water president Gary Barber said that the agreement allows the firm to validate its ability to store water in the upper watershed of the Arkansas River.
