Pursuant to Section 37-98-102, C.R.S., the Water Resources and Agriculture Review Committee’s (WRARC) purpose is to oversee the conservation, use, development, and financing of Colorado's water resources and identify, monitor, and address Colorado agriculture issues. The committee is also required to review statewide planning for water resources. The WRARC reviews and proposes legislation to further its purpose. In conducting its review, the WRARC consults with experts in the fields of water conservation, quality, use, finance, and development and the field of agriculture. While the committee is considered a year-round committee, it follows interim committee guidelines for drafting and requesting legislation.
