The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) exists to establish water policy as directed by statutes to address Colorado's water issues. The CWCB is governed by a 15 member board that includes governor-appointed representatives from each of the eight major river basins, the City and County of Denver and several state agencies. Since nearly all of Colorado's water originates within its boundaries but is shared with other downstream states, the CWCB works to protect and assure that Colorado maintains its ability to fully use its allocation of the water under various agreements and court decrees.

However, the development of those resources increasingly must focus on the wise use of water in recognition of future drivers like population growth that put pressure on state waters. The major "units" (sections) of the CWCB related to water supply planning, interstate and federal water issues including water information, instream flow and natural lake level protection, watershed and flood protection, grants and water project financing including agency budgeting/admin support.

The work unit administers and manages the daily administrative operations of the agency through information exchange, budget formulation and analyses, funding, planning, accounting, and office management.
