The Colorado River Drought Task Force will convene over the course of this year to brainstorm solutions to the concerning future of the Colorado River and water resources in the state.
DENVER — Rain in Denver means the classic comment from Coloradans has been flowing faster than the creeks through the city:"We need the moisture!"
Gimbel has studied water since the early 1980s, and her passion is the Colorado River. It's also her biggest heartbreak. The Colorado River is critical to the livelihood, agriculture, and economies of seven states in the western United States. Growing populations, combined with the drought, has led to the overuse of the Colorado River.
"This past legislative session actually was very historic for the amount of progress we made on water in Colorado," State Sen. Dylan Roberts, D-District 8, said. “We need to make sure we're getting this right. So, making sure we're careful always should be a priority for us at the legislature.” Gimbel is hopeful the task force comes up with solutions that benefit everyone, and Sen. Roberts believes legislators are ready to work on them.
