Rio Grande south of Central Ave. bridge, April 12, 2012
A new Colorado College “State of the Rockies Project” public opinion survey of residents of the six Colorado Rockies states suggests y’all care about water. A lot. Quoting from the survey summary report:
- Ninety percent (90%) say inadequate water supplies are a serious problem, with 69% saying it is an extremely serious or very serious problem. These are by far the highest numbers in the six states surveyed.
- The low levels of water in the state’s rivers is also seen as a major concern, with 94% saying it is a serious problem, and 83% saying it is an extremely serious or very serious problem. Again, these are the highest percentages recorded across the six states.
I thank Juliet McKenna for alerting me to the survey results.
