Colorado Division of Water Resources
Matt Sares is the Manager of the Hydrogeologic Services Branch at the Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR). In this capacity he addresses the geological and hydrogeological information needs of DWR to ensure wise regulatory decisions pertaining to groundwater. One of the subject areas that the Hydrogeological Services Branch addresses is the nature of groundwater movement in aquifers and the subsurface in general. This information is used in estimating stream depletions and the timing of stream depletions caused by well pumping for Nontributary Determinations and Substitute Water Supply Plans. Previously, he spent 20 years with the Colorado Geological Survey, ultimately serving as its Deputy Director. Sares has a graduate degree in hydrogeology from the Colorado School of Mines.
