AWARE Colorado provided information to community leaders statewide about the impacts of land use on water quality, and suggested strategies to protect our rivers, lakes and streams.

AWARE Colorado visited communities to inform local officials and others about ways to protect local water quality through community planning.  Many of the strategies are found in the “Water Protection Toolkit for Local Officials.”

Although no longer an active project, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Nonpoint Source Management area is committed to keeping the tools AWARE produced under its NPS grant available to land use planners and decision makers.  Those materials will be found under the links to the left.
