About 75% of the water that Colorado Springs uses is from mountain springs in the areas of Aspen, Leadville, and Breckenridge-Colorado. Protective pipes transfer this water down from the mountains to be stored in local reservoirs like Rampart Reservoir and Catamount Reservoir.
Rampart Reservoir is a 500 surface acre lake located between the United States Air Force Academy and Woodland Park-nestled in the middle eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. Catamount Reservoir is a 210 surface acre lake on the North Slope of Pikes Peak.

Penny Lab
The Penny Lab is an activity to see how many water droplets can go on top of a penny without the water coming off the penny.
I thought that there would only be 4 water droplets that would be able to get onto the penny.
I found out that 9 water droplets could go on top of the penny without it coming off.
The water molecules inside the water droplets were constantly breaking apart with their positive and negative charge. Also, water molecules were bulding up inside the water droplet, so it would eventually come off the penny.
