The 2020 water season started with above-average snowpack in the Upper Colorado River Basin, which allowed reservoirs that rely on water from the basin to fill or nearly fill. However, long periods of below average precipitation, coupled with above average air temperatures extending through the month of August, along with water diversions, reduced streamflow levels during the summer. | | | | | | | | | |  | Registration for the full conference is FREE! October 12-14, 17, and 19-21 Colorado TU will be holding its annual Rendezvous over a series of multiple sessions starting October 12, 2020.
