Click here to read an article about the Summit County Citizens Voice written by the purveyor, Bob Berwyn. He does a terrific job up in Summit County. Here’s an excerpt:
We also try to offer sustained and in-depth coverage of Colorado water issues, important any time, but absolutely critical in years of drought, when the outlook for summer water supplies is uncertain. Already, key players in the Colorado water stage are jockeying and juggling, trying to make a meager supply last through a long, hot summer. This past week, we reported on a Colorado River deal that will enable more storage in the Colorado River headwaters region.
Another story about the Colorado snowpack used charts and graphs to help illustrate the state’s ongoing drought conditions. Although parts of the high country did get some decent snows in March, it wasn’t nearly enough to alleviate overall drought conditions. In a typical winter, March accounts for 20 percent of the seasonal snow accumulation, but this year’s March snowfall was well below normal at most SNOTEL sites, with the exception of the South Platte and Colorado River basins.

I follow the Summit Voice on Twitter and have linked to them hundreds of times over the years since the venture began.
