Arapaho Ridge Realtime Data

The melting snow from these mountain ranges feeds into the Colorado River, which is the primary source of water for the Western United States. The runoff from the mountains also impacts several reservoirs, including Lake Powell and Lake Mead. The hydrologic partners in the region include the Bureau of Reclamation and the Colorado River Basin Forecast Center. The snowpack data collected from the sensor is crucial for water resource management and informing decisions on water allocation and conservation efforts.
