The next meeting of the Drought Task Force is scheduled for August 18 in <br />-Boulder. As of June I this is the Colorado Water Supply Outlook: <br /> <br />Snowoack: Most of the state shows two to three times the snowpack oflast year at this <br />time. Colorado's statewide snowpack increased this month to 105% of average. Only the Rio <br />Grande and the combined San Juan, Animas, Dolores, and San Miguel basins decreased in <br />percent of average snowpack. These basins remain as the only basins in the state reporting a <br />significantly below average snowpack. <br /> <br />Precipitation: Precipitation totals were generally above average across most of Colorado <br />during May. The Rio Grande Basin reported more than twice the average for the month. The <br />Gunnison Basin exceeded its average by 60 percent, while the San Juan, Animas, Dolores, arid <br />San Miguel basins exceeded their monthly average by 34 percent. An average of the 39 National <br />Weather Service stations shows the statewide precipitation was ISO percent of average for May. <br />Only the Yampa and White basins are now reporting a below average water year total. <br />Colorado's highest basinwide water year accumulations are reported in the South Platte Basin at <br />162 percent of average. <br /> <br />Reservoir Storage: As Colorado enters the irrigation season, the state's reservoirs are <br />storing generally above average volumes in all basins, ranging from 108 percent of average in <br />the San Juan, Animas, Dolores, and San Miguel basins, to 282 percent of average in the <br />Arkansas Basin. Statewide, reservoir storage is 136 percent of average for this date, exceeding <br />the average by more than 1.2 million acre-feet.
