Colorado Water
March is shaping up to be the second driest on record, according to the Denver Post [March 30, 2004, "March leaving basins thirsty"]. From the article, "Snowpack - the accumulation in the mountains that melts to fill reservoirs and supplies most of the state's water year-round - tumbled from 88 percent of the 30- year average at the beginning of the month to 72 percent Monday. An even bleaker picture emerges from individual basins: Southwest Colorado, which has been hit the hardest by the drought the past four years, fell from 109 percent of average to 76 percent as of Monday."
