Flow of Water Will Affect Future Colorado Development

Federal data shows that the average annual use of Colorado River water (15.4 million acre feet) has surpassed the average annual supply (14.5 million acre-feet) in the river. Colorado will have to start seriously looking at new developments, their specific planning as far as how water will be used within them, and how large developments will be. Water is becoming scarcer in Colorado and it is definitely a consideration for future development.
