The Colorado River starts as mountain snow, but climate change has made it harder to predict how much will flow into streams every year. A new study says springtime sun, rain and plants could make it easier.
-
New findings about sublimation explain how snow is lost to evaporation before it can melt. The data can help form better predictions about water supplies from the Colorado River.
-
A new study from University of Colorado Boulder researchers finds a strong chance that precipitation will make the next two decades on the Colorado River wetter than the last.
-
Colorado's Rocky Mountains have reached peak snowpack, but climate change is changing the way snow turns to water. States around the region are debating new rules for the river that center around new water deficits.
-
Water and fire, and more specifically wildfire and snowpack, are crucial to the West. We look at their relationship and what it means for life in Northern Colorado today on In The NoCo.
-
The limited snowfall could have big implications for the Colorado River, which gets most of its water from snow in the Rocky Mountains.
-
Colorado has had some early snowfall so far, but snowpack is below normal for this time of year and drought conditions are spreading across the state.
-
Winter snow in the Rockies provides the majority of the Colorado River's water supply. As negotiators work on long-term rules for sharing the river, a dry winter could add some urgency.
-
A new document from the federal government shows how some pressure is lifted from states that use water from the Colorado River until 2026, but bigger challenges lie ahead.
-
A new study from Portland State University suggests that some of the Mountain West’s glaciers do not qualify as glaciers anymore due to their size and lack of movement.
