Remembering Black Sunday!

One of the worst storms of the Dust Bowl, Black Sunday sent dry topsoil into the air, darkening skies in minutes and stripping the land of its ability to hold water. It’s a powerful reminder that when soil is lost, water is lost too. Protecting our soil through better land and water management helps conserve moisture, reduce drought impacts and sustain our water resources for the future.

Snowpack gains over the last week were 98 percent of average on the West Slope and 169 percent of average on the East Slope. The Upper Colorado sites are now approximately 66 percent of average, and the South Platte sites are at 73 percent of average for this time of year. #cowx

���� It’s #GroundwaterAwarenessWeek!

Groundwater professionals play a critical role in protecting the water resources that sustain our communities, agriculture and ecosystems. Yet according to the American Geosciences Institute, there are currently more than 135,000 open positions across the geoscience workforce nationwide — far too many to keep pace with growing demand.

At the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute, we’re proud to support student research and hands-on educational opportunities in groundwater science, helping cultivate the next generation of expertise, curiosity and care for our precious water resources.

Happy National Groundwater Awareness Week!

To kick off Groundwater Awareness Week, we’re sharing a few interesting facts about the vital resource we call groundwater:
Groundwater accounts for 0.61% of the Earth’s total water.
Yet, groundwater accounts for 98% of Earth’s freshwater.
The U.S. uses 82.3 billion gallons of groundwater per day for drinking water, irrigation, livestock, manufacturing, mining, thermoelectric power and more!
