Scientific
research indicates that warmer temperatures may create substantial water supply
shortages in the Colorado River. This would
greatly impact the more than 25 million people who rely on this source for
water and power. Science-based tools and information are needed to adapt to
changing climate conditions in this region of growing population and limited
water resources. Come learn how the USGS and its partners are working to
provide and apply the science needed by resource managers and policy makers to
anticipate and address climate change impacts on the Colorado
River.
