Colorado Foundation for Water Education

The Water 2012 group is excited to unveil a series of logos that will be used to tie together all events that happen in 2012 (and beyond) to celebrate Colorado's water.  The chosen logo will be available to anyone who wants to use it.  CFWE's hope is that this will become the symbol for water in Colorado for many years to come.

Help us choose the winner!

Give each logo below 1-5 stars, with 5 being your favorite.

Join us for the Annual Sustaining Colorado Watersheds Conference in Vail from October 5th-7th.

This years focus is on Learning from the Past to Protect the Future. The conference is full of useful information for watershed groups, recreation professionals, environmental scientists, and educators. The lineup of workshops, presenters, and field trips offer an opportunity for partnership development that will benefit Colorado’s water resources.

Speakers include a rousing Keynote presentation on threats to the Colorado River by Jonathan Waterman, measurable outcomes by John La Rocca, of the Renssalaerville institute, and private investments in Colorado watersheds with Margerett Bowman of the Walton Family Foundation.

The Citizen's Guide to Colorado's Interstate Compacts contains all you need to know about the history and administration of our downstream obligations in 32 pages.

Colorado straddles the Continental Divide, giving birth to four great rivers - the Platte, the Arkansas, the Rio Grande and the Colorado. They nourish cities and farms, industry and recreation, and tens of millions of Americans living in 18 states. But in the arid West, there is rarely enough water to satisfy all desires.

Colorado and its neighboring states have argued for more than a century over who gets how much water from these rivers. Nine interstate compacts and two U.S. Supreme Court equitable decrees govern how much water Colorado is entitled to use and consume within its boundaries. These water-sharing charters have fashioned enduring relationships between sister states.

New in 2010, the Citizen's Guide to Colorado's Interstate Compacts explores how they came into being, how they succeed and fail and how we adjust to them -- and they to us.
