Stan is confident that the rains will come and the hardship will pass, but it is time we came to grips with our cyclical water shortages. It is time for all Coloradans to look to the future and create a comprehensive water plan that sets achievable 5, 10, 20 and 40 year goals.

We need to make sure that we elect leaders who will respond to Colorado's farmers and ranchers, and ensure that when drought conditions exist, our water goes to farmers and ranchers, not jet skis and sail boats.

We need to support Colorado's farmers and ranchers, and we need a solid water plan that can stand up to the extremes of natural water cycles. A comprehensive water plan should focus on three areas: conservation, expansion of existing water storage facilities, and the creation of new water storage facilities.
