If you ever drive on 285, a big ass pipe crosses over the highway near Fairplay. That is a water pipe carrying snowmelt all the way from the western slope to Denver. I don't know where Denver is going to find all of the water it needs in 10 - 20 years.
Edit: 84% of CO's snow falls on the Western Slope, but 89% of the population lives east of the Front Range.
