The Yampa River was flowing at less than one-tenth of its typical 1,000 cubic feet per second through Steamboat Springs on Monday. A conservation nonprofit, the Colorado Water Trust, has reached an agreement on a lease to allow additional releases from Stagecoach Reservoir to bolster flows in the town stretch of the river.

There is relief in sight for the Yampa River where current flows through downtown Steamboat Springs are a relative trickle compared to what is normal for the last week in June.
