The Opportunity <br /> <br />Suddenly, on a number of fronts, the time seems to be ripe <br />to get Colorado's water "house" in order. <br /> <br />Administration officials in Washington who understand the <br />West's water quality and quantity problans suddenly have <br />made the water projects "hit list" mentality a thing of the <br />past. <br /> <br />Budgetary constraints lie ahead, and there is no reason to <br />believe that water storage and hydroelectric power projects <br />will be spared in the cutbacks. But still, the environment <br />is much-improved, where Federal funding and regulatory con- <br />straints are concerned. There is every reason to believe <br />that, once the nation's economy is on finner ground, new <br />Federal water project starts might be politically feasible. <br /> <br />State government appears to be ready to assume more leader- <br />ship - and financial responsibility - in water and power <br />project construction than ever before. The Colorado General <br />Assanbly is providing ways and means to finance studies and <br />small projects through the Colorado Water Conservation Board. <br />The Colorado Water and Power Authority, which would be able <br />to front-end much larger proj ects through revenue bonds <br />probably will be fully established by summer of 1981. <br /> <br />Meanwhile, there is a growing recognition by historically- <br />antagonistic geographical and economic communities of interest <br />that internecine water wars no longer can be tolerated. The <br />"One Colorado" attitude regarding Colorado's water problans <br />which Water for Colorado has been fostering for the past five <br />years has taken root and is flourishing - and none too soon. <br /> <br />Of course, a giant step toward the "One Colorado" spirit was <br />taken at the unprecedented 1979 Colorado Water Convention, <br />at which time more than 500 delegates representing 43 <br />organizations (which cut across all economic, geographic and <br />social lines) adopted a broad platfonn for future Colorado <br />water policy. <br /> <br />An independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization formed to work for adequate, high-quality <br />water, at a reasonable cost, to meet the needs 0/ this and future generations of Coloradans, <br />
