The Coalition for the Upper South Platte (CUSP) formed in 1998, and seeks to improve and protect a watershed that covers approximately 2,600 square miles of central Colorado from the Continental Divide to Strontia Springs Reservoir, southwest of Denver. The watershed is a recreational mecca with over 1.2 million acres of public lands; it provides municipal water for about 75% of Colorado’s residents; it is renowned for its "gold-medal" fishing streams; and it is home to numerous threatened and endangered species.
The Upper South Platte Watershed varies in elevation from about 6,000 to over 14,000 feet above sea level and contains five major municipal and several smaller reservoirs.
