Cody Moser with the federal Colorado Basin River Forecast Center said in a monthly briefing Tuesday that just 1.4 million acre feet of Colorado River water is expected to reach Lake Powell through July. That's less than a quarter of what's considered normal.

The grizzly was previously relocated from Montana to Wyoming to improve genetic connectivity. Now, she has reproduced.

The Wilderness Society says that threats to landscapes in Colorado and the West come from Congress and the Trump administration, and are only increasing as the administration rolls back protections for public lands.

The monthly National Interagency Fire Center outlooks are typically staid documents, providing just-the-facts analysis. But the latest is superlative-laden as it describes record-low snowpacks, record-early snow melt and record-high temperatures.

Disputes over water are becoming more common across the Mountain West as populations grow and supplies tighten. Now, a coalition of counties, ranchers and water advocates in Utah and Nevada is appealing federal approval of a groundwater pipeline project in southern Utah.

Proposed legislation would protect nearly 450 miles of waterways from dams and mining amid the Trump administration’s push for more development.

The unseasonal warmth that broke longstanding temperature records across the West last week was a hit to Colorado's already low snowpack. Climate change drove the heat wave, but scientists say it's still an outlier in today's world.

In the arid Mountain West, rivers are under growing pressure — from climate change, drought and rising demand for water. But new research from New Mexico suggests some river ecosystems may be more resilient than they appear.
