Today I read an article named Soaring Snowpack Raises Flooding Concerns from the Denver Post. This article focused on how after years of drought, snowpack this season in Colorado has hit above-normal and near-record levels. March, Colorado's snowiest month, is concerning those with flooding. Mark Haynes, chief of dam safety with the Colorado Division of Water Resources said, ""We need to make sure to monitor and watch how the snowpack will melt off." This means a lot to me because I for one do not want to be get flooded because the snow does not melt. It is a dangerous situation and people that do live it Colorado need to watch for this problem incase flooding is to happen. People should be concerned about this problem because homes, offices, farms and/or fields, and much more can and will be destroyed if a flood was to occur from the snowiest month. This also matters to other states that tend to get a large amount of snow and not have most of it melt away. Flooding can't usually be prevented that is why it is extremely important to watch for the snow to melt. No one wants to lose their home, car, friends or family members, offices, all because of a flood that occurred from the snow not melting.
