Each main section can be accessed via the navigation panel on the left side of the page.
Provides up-to-date information across dozens of areas of management-relevant science. Each Science topics page has:
- A summary of the topic and its relevance to Colorado River water and resource management
- Annotated links to datasets, tools, and other information and science synthesis on that topic
Collates all of the annotated links to the datasets and tools from Science topics, to make them available in one place.
Lists, by year and by subject, research studies and relevant reports published since 2020.
Links to key web resources providing information about current, recent, and forecasted weather and climate, snowpack, streamflow, reservoir levels, and water supply, for the basin.
Describes the legal and policy context in which the science and applications to inform water management are implemented.
Identifies key players in the science-to-applications (aka research-to-operations, or R2O) chain in the basin, and provides links to homepages and other resources.
Provides a very brief introduction to the Colorado River and the challenges that have emerged in the 21st century.
