概要

 Hey Denver water lovers, buckle up for the latest scoop on our liquid lifeline as of this chilly January morning. Despite a looming mega-drought that could rival 2002s nightmare, Colorados reservoirs are holding strong at 85% full statewide, with Denvers system at a solid 82%, according to Jerd Smiths Fresh Water News report on January 22. But heres the buzz: snowpack and streamflow forecasts are dismal, leaving Denver Water unlikely to refill come spring melt. Manager Nathan Elder told the Colorado Sun on January 21 we need epic 4-foot snowstormslike, multipleto close the massive gap in our snow supply, the worst on record this time of year per KUNC.

Fast-forward to the past 48 hours: a sneaky Jan 23-24 storm dusted us lightly, says the Denver Gazette citing National Weather Service tallies as of Jan 25 morning. Denver proper got zilch, but DIA snagged 1.7 inches, Chatfield Reservoir 4 inches, Castle Rock 0.8, and Lafayette 2.2. Cheesman Reservoir? A big zero. CPR News warns on Jan 20 of deepening winter snow drought statewide, fueled by record warm temps, threatening spring flows90% of the Colorado Rivers upper basin juice.

No quality alerts, and taps are flowing fine from our 20 dams thanks to efficient customers using less amid drier trends and hotter days, as hashed out in the Jan 17 League of Women Voters Denver briefing. Precipitation-wise, January averages just 13mm with 6 rainy days, often as snow, per Weather2Travel historicals. Colorado River talks? Stalled with little progress, Utah News Dispatch notes.
