The supply of water for irrigation; Water piped to farmers in Wyoming and Utah from Green River. 
Hoover Davis, Headgate, Paolo Verde, Imperial, Morelos and Yuma supply farmers in Arizona, Nevada, California and Mexico.
Hydro-electric generation;
Water quality control;
Flood protection; 
Fish and wildlife conservation 

Impacts on the physical environment: 
Ecological losses, flow regulation changes the nature of ecosystems found in river and wetland environments, migrating fish are unab,Enti pass dams and habitats are destroyed by reservoirs. Irrigated agriculture also has serious adverse effects in ecosystems e.g. Mackerel 
Impacts on the human environment:
Population displacement- 
major reservoirs inundate a considerable area of land and often involve the displacement of people]]> 2016-10-25 11:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jsmyth297/colorado/wish/132955135 https://padlet.com/jsmyth297/colorado/wish/132955360 The supply of water for irrigation

50 power plants exist along the river. It generates 4,000 megawatts- 21 million a year ]]> 2016-10-25 11:29:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jsmyth297/colorado/wish/132956586 https://padlet.com/jsmyth297/colorado/wish/132957182 Physical impacts of the scheme 
- movement of sediment, large dams causes the dams to "silt up" reducing the effectiveness of the dams, more drenching and dumping has to occur 💩
- river discharge below dams has caused deposition of silt that has causes correct environments for fish and other aquatic life 🐠🐟🐬🐳
- marshes and backwaters are rejuvenated which helped indangered fish 

Human 
- population on the dispalcement
