Give it up for widespread snowpack measurements! Whether underfoot or flowing out of our taps, snow is a critical resource that makes Colorado special in many ways. We struggle to understand how much snow water equivalent is in the…https://t.co/h4IvIsTYuf https://t.co/qIUVad3gPM

Thank you to these water heroes whose quick decisions and actions reduced the horror of the Marshall Fire. I can't even begin to think of what this would have looked like without water for firefighting! https://t.co/euJoMZ4C8k

Megadrought or aridification? Recent snows have been great underfoot, but it will take much more.
CNN : The US 'megadrought' sets another stunning record. https://t.co/F4x1qm6XvE

Streamflows Aren’t What They Used to Be -
Human activities have altered flow in one-third of U.S. streams, affecting ecosystems. New @USGS report: Flow modification in the Nation’s streams and rivers #anthropocene #climatechange #groundwater https://t.co/dEN9J1sfDF
