In addition, we recognize <br />the importance of communications and technical assistance in helping to promote and <br />support more meaningful water conservation statewide, which is the underlying goal of <br />the CWCB grant programs. <br /> <br />In many communities along Colorado's Front Range, water conservation efforts were <br />made after the drought of 2002.2003. Although we have seen positive results from these <br />efforts, there is still much that can be done and the biggest ~bstacles we face are <br />education and funding. With public forums and adequate funds for outreach, we can take <br />I <br />the steps necessary as a state to ensure a sustainable water future for all of Colorado. <br /> <br />To help move water conservation forward, our organization: fully supports the project <br />being proposed by Western Resource Advocates (WRA) to the Colorado Water <br />..Col1servati<;lnBoardutilizingHB 05-1~54 Grant Furids.
