A new paper analyzing climate models finds that eastern Colorado is likely drying out faster than western parts of the state due to climate change, potentially exacerbating a critical mismatch in water resources across the state.
Earlier research has established that both regions will likely grow
due to human-caused global warming. By running a series of global climate models, researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder found that the trend is more pronounced and occurs sooner east of Colorado’s Continental Divide…
