The Northern Plains and Mountain (NPM) Region includes Colorado, Montana, North and South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming, and Native American country located within these states.

The NPM Regional Water Team works to integrate research, education, and extension programs to address high priority water issues and strives to establish a collaborative, structured process which develops and shares new and existing water resource practices and management techniques throughout the region and nationally. Program members support collaborative partnerships and leverage funding with numerous federal, regional, state and local organizations with similar goals.
