About this structure

Bird Ditch is the structure Colorado DWR identifies as WDID 5800541. The first two digits, 58, are Water District 58 (Upper Yampa River), in Division 6, the Yampa-White-Green basin. Its call is on Bear River.

BasinMind first saw it on the division's active call list on October 3, 2026 and most recently on October 4, 2026.

What its call means

While its call is on, rights on the affected stretch that are junior to its priority (October 20, 1885, administration number 13077.00000) may be ordered to reduce or stop diverting until it is satisfied; senior rights keep diverting.

A WDID names a structure, not a water right: one ditch can hold several rights with different priorities, and the call is placed with one of them. More in What is a water call?, Is my ditch in priority? and What is a WDID?.
