"There really is no other publication like this for the general public. It is so informative but also easy to read and understand." - Headwaters Magazine subscriber
"I am always learning what I can about water and the west so this helps tremendously. We are having drought-resistant grass installed today in our yard so we can conserve even more water." - Fresh Water News subscriber
"This is a great program {Water Fluency} that should be offered in high school or college as a core requirement. Everything that we learned affects everyone in the state." - Water Fluency Program graduate
We're on a mission to ensure Coloradans are informed on water issues and equipped to make smart decisions that guide our state to a sustainable water future.
In 2002, amid the worst single-year drought on record in state history, the Colorado Legislature founded Water Education Colorado. Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit is charged with the important task of ensuring a sustainable water future for our state by educating and engaging Colorado community members, leaders and decision makers around this limited resource.
Water Education Colorado and its members are committed to advancing solutions in the same spirit of yesteryear, that of courage, leadership, innovation and collaboration. Our world of water is more complex and threatened than ever before, but with understanding and tools that are light years ahead, we are working to ensure a better water future for all.
In Colorado and across the globe, our lives literally depend on water. Water sustains our economies, our way of life and our very existence, therefore we celebrate it and protect it. We believe that a clean and sustainable water supply must be our communities’ top priority.
