There are <br />approximately 450 special districts in Colorado that have the providing of water as their main public function. In <br />performing our mission, we fully embrace the importance of water conservation, water use efficiency, and wise <br />water use in our community's efforts to manage our most precious water resources now and into the future. <br /> <br />Our organization applauds the CWCB for developing, maintaining, and administrating its water conservation and <br />water efficiency grant programs, and we will continue to show our support for these important state programs into <br />the future. In addition, we recognize the importance of communications and technical assistance in helping to <br />promote and support more meaningful water conservation statewide, which is the underlying goal of the CWCB <br />grant programs. <br /> <br />Due to the arid nature of most of Colorado, providing water to a growing population is becoming extremely <br />difficult. Every drop saved through conservation is a drop that won't need to be taken from some other source or <br />some competing use. <br /> <br />To help move water conservation forward, our organization fully supports the project being proposed by Western <br />Resource Advocates (WRA) to the Colorado Water Conservation Board utilizing lIB 05-1254 Grant Funds. We <br />strongly encourage the CWCB and the Office of Water Conservation and Drought Planning to consider the merits of <br />theWRA grant application and award the requested funds to this worthwhile and important program that will benefit <br />water planning managers, citizens, basin roundtable members, and water conservation experts statewide. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />/sl <br /> <br />J.
