Water is worth more than gold in the nation’s driest state.

Every year, we watch snowfall in the Rocky Mountains to see if enough snowmelt trickles down the Colorado. We watch the rise and fall of Lake Mead. We replace grass with desert landscapes. And we watch managers of water in Colorado River states to see if they can come up with a good new plan to conserve more water.

So where are we today?
