Drew Peternell, director of TU's Colorado Water Project, had an op-ed piece carried in the online edition of the Denver Post that highlights the ways in which the Windy Gap Firming Project is moving forward to meet water needs while protecting river health - in contract to Denver's Moffat Project where Denver Water continues to balk at taking actions to offset the impacts of their new project. Check out Drew's column here. The fact that Boulder County recently declined to sign on to an intergovernmental agreement by which they would lend support to the Moffat project simply underscores the fact that Denver Water is not yet taking the actions needed to make its project work not only for water supply, but for the health of rivers and communities on both sides of the Continental Divide.
