Citing an urgent need to proactively manage local water resources, the Moab City Council gave staff the greenlight to prepare a water shortage contingency plan.

Plus, a new study finds that in most cases, prioritizing older adults when distributing COVID-19 vaccines would save substantially more lives. And, our partners at KSUT report on how the Biden Administration’s pause on new oil and gas leases on public lands affects one drilling proposal in the San Juan National Forest.
