About Ridgway Reservoir
Ridgway Reservoir is one of the 7 reservoirs BasinMind follows in the Gunnison basin, Division 4 of Colorado's seven water divisions. BasinMind's registry lists its operator as USBR (Dallas Creek Project). Its recorded capacity is 84,410 acre-feet, the fourth-largest of the 7 and 6% of the capacity BasinMind tracks in the division.
On October 3, 2026 it held 63,384 acre-feet, 75% of that capacity, with room for about 21,026 acre-feet more. Taken together, the division's reservoirs with a current reading stood at 30% of capacity (385,570 of 1,307,616 acre-feet).
Daily storage comes from the Bureau of Reclamation, Reclamation site 948; the official record is on that station's page. The nearest stream gauge BasinMind reads is Uncompahgre River below Ridgway 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).
