  1. Climate variability and drought in the South Platte River Basin

    The South Platte River Basin has been identified as an area experiencing water overuse, making conflicts and shortages likely during times of drought. This study used multiple sources of climate and water consumption data to better understand climate and water consumption changes during drought: …

  2. Assessing Stakeholders' Perceptions of Water Sharing Arrangements in the South Platte River Basin

    … representing competing water uses in the South Platte River Basin in Colorado to assess if and how WSAs can contribute to meeting both agricultural and urban water needs and where improvements can be made. Results suggest that, regardless of water use sector, stakeholders agree that WSAs …

  3. Strategies for limited and deficit irrigation to maximize on-farm profit potential in Colorado's South Platte Basin

    … along the Front Range of Colorado and within the South Platte Basin. Farms often are acquired outright, the water rights parted off, and the decree changed to municipal use--a process commonly referred to in the regional water community as "buy and dry". Concerned about the negative effects of buy …

  4. Surface spills at unconventional oil and gas sites: a contaminant transport modeling study for the South Platte alluvial aquifer

    … spills pose risks to groundwater quality in the South Platte aquifer system, (2) to identify the key hydrologic and transport factors that determine these risks, (3) to develop a screening level methodology that could be applied at other sites and for various pollutants, and (4) to demonstrate …

  5. At the water's edge: an archaeological investigation of playa occupation in the Central Plains

    … occupation, specifically that occupations in the South Platte River Basin are more diverse and continuous when compared to playas elsewhere in the Great Plains. The findings from this research casts light on overall hunter-gatherer lifeways and reveals the importance of playas to indigenous groups …

  6. A combined field analysis and modeling approach for assessing the impact of groundwater pumping on streamflow

    … experiment was conducted along a reach of the South Platte River in Denver, Colorado to estimate pumping-induced streamflow loss and groundwater head drawdown, and compare data against analytical modeling results. The analytical solutions proved accurate if streamflow was low and constant, but …

Although plans are being made to increase the capacity of these sources, increasingly stringent standards on the area's effluents are enhancing the feasibility of reclaiming and recycling a portion of the wastewater. The urban …
