ON THE COVER:
The South Platte Regional
Water Development Study
has assembled a robust team
to analyze the Colorado River
Basin, which is projected to have
the greatest supply gap of any
in the state. Confluence Park,
shown here, sits where Cherry
Creek flows into the South Platte
near downtown Denver, and
represents the many interests of
the area’s water users. Read more
about the study on page 39.
