About Two Rivers:
Two Rivers is building a new water paradigm for the arid regions of the southwestern United States. Two Rivers assembles its water assets by acquiring irrigated farmland with senior water rights because 85% of water rights in the arid southwest are owned by agricultural interests. Two Rivers transforms the value of its water rights and farmland by continually developing operations that generate higher revenues and better profit margins. Two Rivers current farm operations convert feed crop farmland into fruit and vegetable crop production in Pueblo County Colorado, which generates six times more revenue with better profit margins. In December 2012, Colorado legalized the personal use and cultivation of marijuana. As a result, Two Rivers is providing greenhouses and processing facilities for licensed marijuana growers in Colorado on land with water rights not used for fruit and vegetable crop production. Two Rivers also develops Metropolitan Districts to serve under served communities in rural areas in which Two Rivers' farmland and water rights are located.
