This video shows how the Bureau of Reclamation’s Water Crew helps prepare the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project collection system for springtime runoff. The Water Crew plows, snowshoes, shovels, and even bikes through the collection system to release water on an 87-mile journey from the Fryingpan River Basin in the snowy Rockies to Lake Pueblo on the dry Eastern plains.
