Visioning Process
A statewide vision for Colorado's water supply future has three parts: 1) a vision statement;
2) vision goals; and 3) water supply strategies. These terms are
specifically defined as:
1. Vision Statement -This represents, in the broadest sense, the
overall directive or mission. It describes "what" is to be
achieved..
2. Vision Goals -These define the goals of the vision, and
more importantly represent the benchmarks for the
evaluation of strategies. The vision goals will play an
important role in evaluating the perf ormance of water
supply strategies. This represents the "why" portion of
the vision.

3. Water Supply Strategies -Strategies represent Strategies
"how" we will achieve the Vision Statement. The
