The lack of public knowledge and understanding is quite evident by <br />the absence of governmental funding and public involvement in the area, of <br />nonpoint source pollution. OnE! ot' the most important goals fOr,a ,stl!ltewide <br />education program ,is to establish that nonpoint source pollution is everyone's' <br />problem and there is a definite role for its cleanup and prevention for every <br />citizen in Colorado. These educational efforts to address water quality <br />concerns can be both individual and cOllective, and prevention is the most <br />desired alternative as opposed to treatment. ' <br /> <br />An information/education program must be an encompassing program and not' just <br />a collection of individual projects. A sound program will avoid duplication <br />of manpower and funds, as well as promote cooperation on projects by all <br />interested parties. Interagency cooperation is a must to address the numerous <br />water quality concerns. <br /> <br />Obiectives <br /> <br />1.
