To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the National Environmental Policy Act, and to provide a historical lens on several high-profile water projects currently underway, Water Education Colorado together with Colorado Trout Unlimited and the One World One Water Center of MSU Denver came together last year for a half-day educational event. The event told the story of the EPA’s 1990 veto of one of the largest water projects in Colorado history, and how the Denver metro area has moved forward in the aftermath of the project’s demise. You can watch the entire event below.

Recently, Connecting the Drops produced in partnership between Water Education Colorado and Rocky Mountain Community Radio stations put out a recap of that story on their page which you can listen to and read more about here.
