Monthly Water Resources Report
Water Resources Engineer Adam Jokerst reported that conditions are generally good; high temperatures
are a concern. The Poudre River basin is at 91% of snowpack and Colorado-Big Thompson is at 83%.
The forecast for the next three months calls for a wetter than normal period. A board member asked about
underground recharge, which led to a short discussion about reservoir filling, augmentation plans, and
calls.
