Recognizing 2012 as the Year of Water in Colorado
In the arid West, water is our most precious natural resource, and generations of Coloradans have joined together to solve Colorado’s many water challenges. The year 2012 is a particularly significant year for water in Colorado, because it marks numerous anniversaries that have had an enormous impact on how water is managed in the state. I introduced a Senate resolution (S.Res.465) to recognize these anniversaries, the importance of water to the State of Colorado and the contributions of many of the organizations that have innovated and cooperated over the past century to develop, protect and conserve this scarce resource. The resolution also recognizes Governor John Hickenlooper’s designation of 2012 as the Year of Water in Colorado. The resolution passed the Senate on May 16, 2012.
