New climate observatory tackles Western water woes

Summary

By Chelsea Harvey A new scientific observatory nestled in the snow-capped mountains of central Colorado aims to investigate one of the West's most pressing issues: its water problem. Operated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, the SAIL project - short for
