A division of Colorado State University's Office of Engagement, the Colorado Water Center - CoWC was founded to focus the water expertise of higher education on evolving water concerns and issues faced by citizens of Colorado. Headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, the Colorado Water Center is also affiliated with the Colorado Water Science Center, the Agricultural Water Conservation Clearinghouse, the National Institutes for Water Resources, and the Universities Council on Water Resources, as well as more than 50 Water Resources Research Institutes established as a result of the Water Resources Act of 1964.

As an employer, the Colorado Water Center seeks applicants capable of working independently who demonstrate strong attention to detail and excellent writing, communication, and organizational skills. Flexible jobs offered by CoWC in the past include part-time jobs and internship positions. The Colorado Water Center also occasionally posts hourly positions for CSU students, offering opportunities for continued employment and/or long-term employment potential commensurate with performance.

The Colorado Water Center was formed when the Colorado Water Institute and the CSU Water Center combined, and its mission is to connect the state's higher education expertise with the educational and research needs of Colorado water users and managers. CoWC is authorized and funded by the Colorado Legislature and Congress and led by an advisory board comprised of officials from the state's Departments of Agriculture, Forest Service, Public Health and the Environment, and other conservation and related organizations. The Colorado Water Center produces a monthly newsletter entitled Colorado Water, a print and online publication dedicated to highlighting water activities and research conducted by Colorado State University and other organizations throughout the state. Furthermore, every five years, CoWC undergoes a mandated peer review under the authority of the U.S. Geological Survey.
