Can you help? Here in the West, our rivers and drinking water supply are in peril - from climate change impacts, drought and a growing population. Environmental groups are working hard to address these problems - and their work would be greatly helped by access to an on-line community forum - a virtual meeting ground where they could get it touch with colleagues across the West, find experts, learn about best practices, get information on cutting edge issues, get postings on conferences of interest, etc.
