Sopris, immediately below the Hunter‑Fryingpan Wilderness Area. The water is extremely pure and represents one of the highest quality water sources in the State of Colorado.&nbsp;Key elements of our on-going services include: water yield analyses, water right evaluations and transfers, water quality protection and environmental permitting.</p>

Water is local - and our team at LRE Water has the local knowledge in river administration and management, case history, court and rule making hearing decisions, and application of the prior appropriation doctrine that is needed to develop appropriate water resource strategies throughout the western US. Our water rights expertise, paired with our institutional knowledge of local water administration and Water Court matters, gives LRE Water a unique ability to forecast potential issues, and gives our clients the information necessary to minimize the impact of potential unknowns, plan ahead for uncertainties, and focus on those issues that have the potential to directly impact their water right assets.
