Hello Erie Protectors: This was a good start, but I think the graphics could be better. It would really help to compare the total amount of produced water to something people can easily understand — like the total annual amount of water used 1000 families, or something comparable. Showing this in 3-D would help too. Keep up the good work! –Rick, one of founding members, East Boulder County United
