Welcome to the
Platte River Recovery Implementation Program
Thank you for taking the time to visit the official Platte River Recovery Implementation Program web site. In 1997, the states of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska and the Department of Interior came together in a unique partnership to develop a shared approach to managing the Platte River. Water users from the three states and conservation groups joined the effort and together, these stakeholders developed an innovative approach to better manage the Platte for the health of the ecosystem and the people that depend on it. This Program is the culmination of that planning effort and is focused on implementing this shared vision for restoration on the Platte.
Focus on Habitat
One of the Program elements is enhancing, restoring and protecting least tern, piping plover, and whooping crane habitat lands.
Focus on Water
Another Program element is increasing stream flows in the central Platte River through flow re-timing, water conservation and supply projects. Click

Focus
on Adaptive Management
Adaptive management is a systematic process to test hypothesis and apply the information learned to improve management decisions. The Program partners will use the
adaptive management concept to guide restoration activities.
