In the Rockies today, the focus is on wildlife and water.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Friday that it would allocate $16 million for sage grouse work in 11 Western states; and a team of Colorado researchers released a report on the effect noisy humans are having on wildlife, including the sage grouse.
In Nevada, the state is gearing up to sort out the effect a state Supreme Court decision is having on water rights and Southern Nevada Water Authority's decades' long work on a pipeline to provide water to Las Vegas.
In Northern Arizona, where water shortages are looming within decades for some communities, the federal government has been quietly working with Flagstaff to sort out a deal that will provide groundwater to make snow at Arizona Snowbowl, quiet tribes' concern about using treated wastewater for that purpose, and provide new water resources for the Arizona city.
