About Green Mountain Reservoir

Green Mountain Reservoir is one of the 10 reservoirs BasinMind follows in the Colorado River basin, Division 5 of Colorado's seven water divisions. BasinMind's registry lists its operator as USBR (C-BT). Its recorded capacity is 154,645 acre-feet, the third-largest of the 10 and 12% of the capacity BasinMind tracks in the division.

On October 3, 2026 it held 16,514 acre-feet, 11% of that capacity, with room for about 138,131 acre-feet more. Over the seven days before, storage fell by 406 acre-feet. Taken together, the division's reservoirs with a current reading stood at 45% of capacity (554,790 of 1,236,931 acre-feet).

Daily storage comes from the Colorado Division of Water Resources, DWR station GRERESCO; the official record is on that station's page. The nearest stream gauge BasinMind reads is Blue River below Green Mountain Reservoir, about 1 miles away in a straight line.

An acre-foot is the water that would cover one acre a foot deep, about 325,851 gallons; percent full compares storage with recorded capacity, not with what is normal for the date (cfs and acre-feet).
