Aquallotes: <br />Just the facts, <br />Notes <br />ado Fate E °UDon BAD DHMWM <br />briefly <br />A4u °° <br />aW oFOOnEd-UDon <br />In response to the needs of busy deck <br />sion- makers looking to better under- <br />stand water issues, CFWE created <br />Aquallotes— briefing papers on impor- <br />tant water issues. <br />In 2004 -2005, the Foundation cre- <br />ated four new Aquallotes on topics <br />such as the Colorado River, recreation- <br />al in- channel diversions, augmentation <br />plans, and more. Additional titles are <br />also under development. <br />These double- sided, black and <br />white sheets give basic factual infor- <br />mation and respond to e` D " "" Notes <br />frequently asked ques- A4ua°"""' ' <br />w '" tWW^DPdnn \ mar ion eM' °°.M' <br />tions on pressing water <br />issues. They even pro- <br />vide a section with "talk - <br />ing points" highlighting <br />main facts from the text. <br />Aquallotes are avail- <br />able free of charge and may <br />be downloaded from the <br />Foundation's Web site cfwe.or «= "" <br />or by calling the Foundation. <br />m: <br />Citizen's Guide to the Environmental Era <br />The Citizen's Guide to Colorado's Environmental Era is the <br />second history - related guide in the Colorado Foundation for <br />Water Education's on -going citizen's guide series. As a follow - <br />up to the Citizen's Guide to Colorado's Water Heritage, our <br />authors extend the history timeline to recent years, what we <br />have labeled "the environmental era." <br />This project draws together the expertise of prominent his- <br />torians and scholars from throughout Colorado and the West. <br />Their essays show how recent decades and the environmental <br />movement have shaped Colorado's culture, commu- <br />nities and landscapes. History serves to remind us <br />that our cultural and social bearings are constantly <br />shifting, sometime imperceptibly, other times at piv- <br />otal moments <br />Concern for the environment comes out of a long <br />tradition of preservation and conservation in the United <br />States. Around the turn of the century, the establishment <br />of Yellowstone Park and the Conservation Movement of <br />President Theodore Roosevelt marked some of the first <br />organized advocacy for the sustainable use of forests, soils <br />and water. <br />The modern American environmental movement has <br />built it of these conservationist and preservationist <br />roots —as well as on a mound of paperwork. We hope that <br />you will find these essays insightful and informative. <br />Copies of the guide are $8 each, or $6 each if ordering 10 <br />or more.
