Colorado’s Cache la Poudre River: History in Video
Wednesday, December 18th, 2013Loveland, CO: Big Thompson River Diversion
Tuesday, November 12th, 2013As a direct result of the flood’s damage, eroding river banks were getting closer to the area’s 48-inch water transmission line, which was the last pipe of three main lines that bring treated water to the town. It was determined that the best solution would be to force the river water away from the pipe. Something drastic had to be done, so it was decided to bring in trees to lie across the channel to create a dam to divert the river. ”

Months of drought and some big fires made it difficult for the ground to absorb the water. I stopped in a spot a few kilometers northeast of downtown to shoot some footage.
[NOTE: In the video I say the creek is northwest of Boulder, but it’s actually northeast. My apologies for the error.
