MLB, Rockies to refill Colorado River water supply after long drought
Major League Baseball and the Colorado Rockies announced plans to restore 30 million gallons of water into the Colorado River. The commitment comes after the river experienced its driest 12-month period on record over the past year. The sustainability effort will see MLB partner with environmental organizations Green Sports Alliance, Change the Course and the Colorado Water Trust. MLB estimates that the 30 million gallons of water are equivalent to the amount used by the Rockies at Coors Field throughout a season.
