<br />Historical Perspectives on Colorado Drought <br /> <br /> <br />[ <br /> <br />upper and lower basin based on approximate elevation and mountain proximity." A <br />general picture of typical wet and dry periods in Colorado. as well as the principle <br />demands in each water division are providt.-d for each of the seven major Colorado <br />river basins (Figure 19). Note the great variability in precipitation across dilTerent <br />seasons and different regions. An understanding ofthc various regional demands is <br />important in order to detennine the impacts of drought on a particular area ufthe <br />state <br /> <br />Jh <br />l]~l <br />\~ il <br /> <br />rrrdplladoR <br />E';"..,.: Wet Dt.:-.\pr.Ory <br />.!..\lIl.'-o..1 <br />I".c.,.: OryN.....-f...b..W...1 <br />AI'I'__Jul. <br />MoIJoro.-n.llub <br />l\Iunlclpalll.llNrUl.IA <br />millk'nlrr,""3~3t;~...,.I:nl <br />crl1l~rn'Ii\1!!.t",:k.\~...L1\oIa. <br />OslUII\l,tJ.anlll1\t.
