概要
Denver Water reports reservoirs are hovering at 82 percent full, a nerve-wracking four points below average for early February. Snowpack? Oof. The Colorado River Basin sits at a measly 58 percent of normal, while the South Platte is scraping bottom at 45 percent – that's record-low territory for our drinking water lifeline. Nathan Elder, Denver Water's water supply manager, told CBS News our statewide snowpack dipped to 55 percent, with South Platte at a shocking 43 percent. No big storms in sight means even normal snowfall from here won't cut it; we'd need epic blizzards to claw back to average by April's end.
Precipitation's been a joke too. The National Weather Service logged zero inches on February 7, with month-to-date totals lagging badly. Denverite noted our freakishly warm winter – think 63-degree afternoons at Ruby Hill Rail Yard – has plunged the metro into severe drought for the first time in over a year, per the U.S. Drought Monitor. Aurora Water chimed in to Denver7, warning restrictions are likely as their reservoirs hit 60 percent, urging low-flow fixtures and leak checks now.
No fresh rain or quality alerts in the last 48 hours, but that unseasonal heat kept Dillon Reservoir from freezing until late January – second latest ever. Fire risks are up, runoff looks grim, and Colorado River talks are stalling amid the drought, says the LA Times.
Folks, conserve like it's your job: shorter showers, xeriscape yards. We might dodge taps turning off, but Mother Nature's not playing nice.
