Despite recent storms dropping snow on the east side of the Continental Divide, Coloradoâs water supply situation is still in a tenuous situation, with much of the state still experiencing drought conditions. Most of our water on the Front Range comes from the West Slope. As The Gazette reported in its enlightening three-part series on drought in Colorado, our climate is changing, with the potential for greater extremes and hotter droughts.
Water availability is and will always be a challenge in our state, and wise water use must be a permanent way of life. Iâm proud to say the landscape industry, in collaboration with water utilities across the state, has developed solutions to stretch this finite resource.
