Water Education Task Force
Overview of the Water Education Task Force
The Water Education Task Force is a collaborative initiative organized by the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) in partnership with CAEE and Colorado Watershed Network (CWN).
WETF was charged with an initiative to better understand the current status of water education in Colorado. The primary purpose of WETF is to provide guidance on ways to improve the understanding and stewardship of our water resources through education.
During the first half of 2008, the task force conducted an extensive online survey of 292 water education providers in Colorado and convened a series of focus groups to describe key aspects of current water education efforts and to evaluate gaps, barriers and opportunities for improvement. The task force worked to establish consensus on a united platform for Colorado water education and formulated specific recommendations for improvement.
Two detailed reports were produced and can be downloaded from the Colorado Water Conservation Board website.
