Colorado State University Water Dialogue Creating and Sustaining Constructive Conversations about Water December 13, 2005 8:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. Lory Student Center - Colorado State University - Fort Collins, Colorado As the 21st century began in semi -arid Colorado, the State was gripped by a drought that magnified already stiff competition for water supplies. The competition, to date, has, in the minds of some water users, resulted in grid lock in new water developments. Resolving water disputes and conflicts, in mu- tually acceptable ways, is of increasing interest to many Colorado citizens and the Colorado Legislature, as witnessed by passage of the Interbasin Compacts bill (HB 1177) in the 2005 Session. In the spirit of enhancing water communication in Colorado, Colorado State University (CSU), with its long and rich traditions in water education, research and outreach, is organizing a one -day CSU Water Dialogue on December 13, 2005, on the CSU campus in Fort Collins. The purpose of the CSU Water Dialogue is to examine rapid changes taking place in our society and the resulting impacts and pressures on Colorado's limited water resources; establish common points of discussion; and suggest ways to facilitate constructive dialogues about the future of water supplies in Colorado. It is anticipated that the CSU Water Dialogue, and its proceedings, will help foster construc- tive dialogue in the Water Roundtables currently being organized and initiated in Colorado. Proceedings of the CSU Water Dialogue's talks and discussions will be published by CWRRI /CIPP. The appendix of the proceedings will include a list of participants.
