| Project Purpose | Colorado drought planning has been developed through the preparation and implementation of the Colorado Drought Mitigation and Response Plan. The plan consists of four components: monitoring, assessment, mitigation, and response. Monitoring is ongoing and accomplished, at a minimum, by quarterly meetings of the Water Availability Task Force (WATF). Meetings are occasionally held in conjunction with the Colorado Flood Task Force. The WATF is comprised of Colorado’s water supply specialists, emergency management professionals, federal land managers, scientists, and experts in climatology and weather forecasting.
Throughout the water year (October through September) the WATF monitors snowpack, precipitation, reservoir storage, streamflow, and temperatures, and provides a forum for synthesizing and interpreting water availability information. Task force members meet quarterly or monthly to share information.
This project operates in Colorado. |
