Aquifer drought warning prompts conservation steps
Boulder researcher warns the Ogallala Aquifer faces rapid depletion from irrigation. He notes 15 million acres rely on it, with 175,000 wells drawing more water annually than the Colorado River delivers. Solutions include metering, drip irrigation, and dryland crops to slow depletion while balancing snowmaking and trout streams.

Vail Snow Is Safe For Skiing But Not For Eating
Vail snowmaking draws water from Gore Creek near a sewage outflow, leading officials to say one to two thirds of the manmade snow contains treated sewage water. Regulators limit water intake to match sewage plant discharge when the creek runs low. Health officials note the sewage plant uses tertiary treatment and remains among the cleanest, yet last winter it produced up to 368 parts per million fecal coliform.
