The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) released a report Colorado Climate Change: A Synthesis to Support Water Resource Management and Adaptation in connection with the Governor’s Conference on Managing Drought and Climate Risk, October 8-10 in Denver. The report focuses on observed trends and projections of temperature, precipitation, snow, and runoff. The report gives water resource managers a synthesis of the best scientific knowledge of what is expected for Colorado’s climate over the next few decades to help them plan now for drought and adaptation to climate change.
