If we can get in and actually be more responsible about the fuels that are on the ground and the management that needs done in the forest, well, then we can have more water throughout our entire state because that is top issue. On the western side of the continental divide is 90% of the water for Colorado. On the eastern side of the continental divide is 90% of the population. So if we can work together and have healthy forests, therefore have healthy watershed, more storage projects, well then there is more for western Colorado to share with eastern Colorado.
