41, COLORADO FOUNDATION FOR WATER EDUCATION <br />ANNOUNCES NEW PUBLICATION, POSTER <br />Citizen's Guide to Colorado Water Quality Protection -- Curious how the state decides what <br />rivers are healthy for fish, or what lakes are safe to swim in? The Citizen's Guide to Colorado <br />Water Quality Protection summarizes how national and state regulations determine "how clean <br />is clean." Authored by Paul D. Frohardt of the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission, <br />this 33 -page booklet tackles our complex system of water quality laws and regulations. Colo- <br />rado is blessed with high - quality water originating in mountain streams. In fact, over 90 percent <br />of our lakes, reservoirs, and rivers meet or exceed their water quality goals. However, develop- <br />ment and population growth increase water pollution risks. From the headwaters to the plains, <br />this desk reference helps explain the risks and investigates the solutions to our water quality <br />problems. <br />Colorado: the Headwaters State Poster <br />-- Recently revised, the Foundation's poster, <br />Colorado: the Headwaters State, provides an <br />eye- catching summary of the major surface <br />waters in the state, including lakes, reservoirs <br />and rivers. Illustrations show how precipita- <br />tion varies across the state, from less than 12 <br />inches on the plains to more than 45 inches in <br />the mountains. Other graphics trace the state's <br />history of drought and flood over the last 100 <br />years. Statewide water use percentages show <br />how water is divided between agriculture, com- <br />merce and industry, municipal, and other uses. <br />This attractive 24x36 inch wall hanging makes <br />a useful addition to any business, school, or <br />office — showcasing the beauty of our state and <br />illustrating important water facts and figures in <br />an accessible and easy -to -read format. <br />Copies of the guide are $7 each, or $5 if ordering ten or more. Booklets may be <br />ordered online at www.cfwe.org or by contacting the Foundation office at 303- <br />377 -4433. <br />American Water Resources Association, Colorado Section <br />January Luncheon Program <br />Section 309 Water Quality Control Act <br />January 25, 2004 <br />12:00 Lunch, 12:30 Program <br />Denver Water <br />American Water Resources Association, Colorado Section <br />2004 Annual Symposium <br />Interstate Compacts and Treaties: Then and Now <br />Friday, April 30th, 2004, at the Arvada Center <br />Additional information will be coming soon!! <br />Website: http: / /www.awra.org_ /state /Colorado/ <br />16 _ ---- ---- <br />
