Colorado Water
Here's an article from the Rocky Mountain News about the proposed water pipeline from the lower South Platte River that will bring water to the south metro suburbs [April 4, 2005, "Pipeline to quench thirsty south metro"]. From the article, "Initiated by East Cherry Creek Water and Sanitation District, the pipeline originally was going to extend only from near Barr Lake to E-470 near Aurora. The extended pipeline will also be wider. The $6.2 million construction cost will be shared by participants who also will have to pay part of the cost of acquiring water, as well as building pump stations and water-treatment facilities along the pipeline. Participating water districts include Castle Rock, Centennial, Inverness, Stonegate, Castle Pines North, Cottonwood, and Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater."
One benefit of our extended drought is the historically low levels at Lake Powell. The article, from the L.A. Times describes some of the sights that have been flooded for years.
