COLORADO, USA — For years, more water has been taken out of the Colorado River than it can provide. It's a water system that 40 million people rely on, and the federal government has said it's on the brink of collapse. In the face of dwindling water supplies, cities on the Front Range are trying to do their part to conserve. "Colorado is facing a systemic water crisis," said Greg Baker, public relations manager for Aurora Water. "Municipalities need to step up to do what they can." Seven water providers across the Front Range and in the Colorado River Basin are promising to use less water.
