Task 1. Assemble existing regional climate, hydrology, and demographic information. We will first collect regional information including: (a) climate change reports and papers related to water sector climate impacts in the Intermountain West, (b) existing and newly available historical and climate change datasets that are at an appropriate scale to help inform climate risks for municipal water supplies (e.g., from NCAR, US Climate Resilience Toolkit, elsewhere), and (c) demographic information including community locations and population.

I have asked a GIS specialist, Arthur Endsley, to use a shape file of the intermountain west region to populate a list of all community names, locations, population and elevation. I would like input from everyone on what the the population size constraints should be for this.

I just learned about the Opportunity Atlas and think that could be a great tool for this element of our work: https://www.opportunityatlas.org/
