The La Sal Mountains, prominent and magnificent, transform not only the people that climb them, but also the air that rises over them. As air hurdles over these peaks, climbing higher and higher, it cools down enough for water to condense, and precipitate. This marks the beginning of Moab’s water journey, above ground, and below.

Ideally, Moab wants the water to be released slowly. A good snow pack, and gradual warming into the summer months will ensure a reliable source of water as it has enough time to infiltrate into the ground and recharge our aquifers.

Ideally, Moab wants the water to be released slowly. A good snow pack, and gradual warming into the summer months will ensure a reliable source of water as it has enough time to infiltrate into the ground and recharge our aquifers.

Unfortunately, reliable surface water flows, and aquifer recharge, are being put at risk by increasing environmental pressures. Snowpack could lessen and melt quicker. Drawn out, soaking rains may be replaced by monsoonal torrents. Quick releases of water, combined with dry (or burnt) soils, and our own impermeable surfaces, lead to less infiltration and quick runoff, resulting in flooding. Instead of water being captured by our plants, soils, and wells, it leaves the system, flowing into the Colorado river and taking invaluable topsoil, and pollution with it.

Moab is not in an emergency situation, however, it is crucial to be proactive. With a growing population, how can we reduce the amount of water each person uses per day? How can we slow water down and keep it, and our soils, in town?

Landscaping for residential and commercial purposes accounts for the largest portion of water consumption. Waterwise landscaping can help to create beautiful yards that are efficient. Impermeable surfaces increase runoff and decrease infiltration. Incorporating waterwise landscaping and green stormwater infrastructure can help to keep water and soils in town, while adding beauty and reducing heat. Updating our infrastructure, such as low-flow toilets, fixing leaks, utilizing graywater, harvesting rainwater, and many more solutions are available to us. To build a resilient community we must be proactive. Visit moabcity.org/sustainability for more information on water conservation.
