The Three Lakes System is a component of the Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) project which is jointly operated by Northern Water and the Bureau of Reclamation. The C-BT project delivers approximately 260,000 acre-feet of water annually from the Colorado River on the western side of the Continental Divide to the Front Range on the eastern side of the divide via the Alva B. Adams Tunnel and serves more than 1,000,000 people for municipal water uses and approximately 615,000 acres for agricultural water uses (Bureau of Reclamation, 2023; Northern Water, 2023a). \n\nStreamgage networks can monitor real-time streamflow conditions in the Colorado River and headwater tributaries. These data are used by Northern Water and the Bureau of Reclamation to operate the C-BT project."

Following the fire, the existing real-time precipitation station and streamgage network were expanded to collect data within the burn scar. These data are being used to evaluate possible effects of the East Troublesome Fire on the local hydrology."
