The cities have drained the reservoirs....fifty years ago the population was what???
They need to build more but never did
What they did is enlarge some existing reservoirs and build some smaller projects like Strontia Springs Res. 6 miles above Chatfield Res (which is flood control) I was part of the group that stopped the idiotic and wasteful Two Forks Reservoir project on the South Platte. The flatlanders weren’t forced to pay their way and the western slope pays instead. Western slope rubes got taken by the flatlanders decades ago.
