A massive new reservoir project in Northern Colorado has cleared a final hurdle, more than two decades after it was originally proposed. Today on In The NoCo, KUNC’s water reporter Alex Hager explains how this will supply enough water for a half-million new residents in fast-growing communities in the region – and why some environmental advocates opposed the project.

An environmental group sought to block construction of the Northern Integrated Supply Project near the Poudre River.

The City of Fort Collins says the final segment in city limits to connect the 45-mile trail is near completion. The paved path is decades in the making.

Water from Horsetooth Reservoir is rushing through the Cache la Poudre on its way to farms and power plants east of Greeley.

Aerial mulching efforts will keep ash and debris out of the Poudre and Big Thompson rivers. Helicopters will drop wood chips on areas burned by the Cameron Peak Fire.

It’s been almost exactly a year since the Cameron Peak Fire tore through the foothills outside of Fort Collins on its way to becoming the largest fire in state history. Now, restoration efforts are underway.

Last week, flash flooding in Poudre and Glenwood canyons resulted in multiple fatalities and road closures. Burn scars from the Cameron Peak and Grizzly Creek fires played a big role in the dangerous water flows, but the monsoon was also a factor.

The body of a man missing after flooding and mudslides in Northern Colorado last week was found Sunday in the Poudre River, authorities said. Two other people remain missing but, after a series of searches, the Larimer County Sheriff's Office says no others are currently planned.

Heavy debris flow is complicating search and rescue efforts along the Poudre Canyon west of Fort Collins, where three people are still missing in the wake of flash flooding Tuesday night.
