Colorado diversion structures, straight from CDSS
Colorado's diversion structures at the depth CDSS actually publishes.
Colorado administers water at the structure level rather than the parcel level, so Colorado diversion structures are how diligence is actually done there. Underwrite a Colorado position without the WDID and you are underwriting a summary of a summary.

Why CO Water Structures matters
Colorado administers water at the structure level, not the parcel level, so structure data is how diligence is actually done there. If you are underwriting a Colorado position without the WDID, you are underwriting a summary of a summary.
Questions CO Water Structures answers
- What physical works divert water at this point, and under whose decree?
- Which structures sit between my intake and the next senior caller?
- How is this stretch of river administered in a call year?
What is in the CO Water Structures data

| Decreed amount | Amount decreed to the structure where the state publishes it. |
| Division and district | Colorado's administrative hierarchy, which governs how calls are administered. |
How we serve CO Water Structures
CDSS is ingested on its own pipeline and rendered in the same hydrology color family as the rest of the water pack, so Colorado structures read as water rather than as a separate product bolted on.
