Youth Advisory Council 1999 - 2000
The Youth Advisory Council members for 1999-2000 chose to spend the year focusing on the availability of future water resources and on the water conservation public-outreach campaign.

From April through December 1999, the teens met approximately twice a month to analyze these issues. The youth council studied, researched and developed the following resource and conservation campaign recommendations:

Water Resource Recommendations

1. Reallocate the Colorado River
2. Explore the idea of water exchanges with Colorado River Basin states
3. Continue SNWA efforts related to legalizing interstate transfers and marketing
4. Form a seven-state commission

Conservation Recommendations:

1. Make television commercials more realistic and hard-hitting
2. Provide more motivation for viewers to conserve by further emphasizing that saving water equates to saving money
3. Highlight other conservation methods in addition to lawn watering
4. Target conservation messages to specific audiences at appropriate times
5. Use Deputy Drip only for age-appropriate audiences
6. Avoid using signs that send an incomplete message
