Today’s Guests:
On this edition of Water Talk, Paul the Waterman welcomed special guest Mark Whitlach, a licensed professional in wastewater and water treatment, for an important conversation about Colorado’s water supply and where our water actually comes from.
The discussion began with the basics: What is an aquifer? Mark explained how underground layers of rock and sediment store and transmit groundwater and why these resources are so important to Colorado communities. Paul and Mark also discussed the major aquifers that make up the Denver Basin and how thousands of homes and wells depend on these underground water sources. The conversation also explored the critical role of water treatment plants in treating water and helping ensure it meets standards before reaching our homes. Could Colorado actually run out of water? Paul and Mark discussed the challenges created by drought, population growth, increased demand, and declining groundwater levels. For homeowners who rely on private wells, falling water levels can affect both water availability and potentially water quality. Knowing what’s in your water starts with testing.
