Abstract | The Colorado Airborne Snow Observatories (CASO) Expansion Plan project is a state funded effort to develop a plan that communicates the water-management value of Airborne Snow Observatories (ASO) flights and proposes steps towards a statewide ASO program. The project began in April, 2021, and is scheduled to conclude in November, 2021. The planning and organizing team for the project consists of Denver Water, Northern Water, Dolores Water Conservancy District, Lynker, and Airborne Snow Observatories Inc. In addition to the planning team, the project has a stakeholder workgroup with over 100 individual members representing a wide variety of water interests—municipal, environmental, agricultural, recreation, state government, federal government, tribal government, and the academic/research community. |
