A western Colorado water district has
received a state grant to work with energy companies and local
governments to track water quality and quantity in the south Piceance
Basin as the area's natural gas boom continues. The West Divide
Water Conservancy District has received $300,000 from levies on mineral
production to help establish a database. The U.S. Geological
Survey will gather all the existing data on area water for a Web site
that will be available to the public. USGS will administer the site.
