—Website design helps users easily navigate
Colorado’s complex water system—
Leading international interactive media awards competition, the
Horizon Interactive Awards (HIA), has selected its 2018 “best of
the best” in interactive media production. This year’s honors
include the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Colorado’s
Decision Support Systems (CDSS). HIA named the website as a bronze
winner for outstanding achievement in government agency
websites.
“The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) and Division of
Water Resources (DWR) are thrilled to receive the Bronze Award from
Horizon Interactive,” said GIS and Web Coordinator, Carolyn Kemp.
“We're proud of the collaborative work that's reflected in the
tools and resources of the Colorado Decision Support Systems’
website. We’ll continue to be the leaders in providing the best
available data and resources regarding water for the citizens of
Colorado.”
Developed by the CWCB and the DWR, CDSS
(https://www.colorado.gov/cdss) is the water management system for
Colorado’s major water basins: Arkansas, Colorado, Dolores,
Gunnison, North Platte, Republican, Rio Grande, San Juan, South
Platte, White and Yampa. The system helps users understand and make
planning decisions about Colorado’s water resources through a
massive database, software tools and baseline data sets.
“Congratulations to our partner, CDSS, on winning a Horizon
Interactive Award,” said Colorado Interactive (CI) President and
General Manager, Mike Ansley. “I’m proud that our technology is
helping CDSS ensure people have access to critical information and
make responsible decisions about one of our state’s most precious
resources.” In addition to four of its government partners
receiving awards, CI was named one of HIA’s 2018 Distinguished
Agencies.
In its 17th year, HIA is a prestigious worldwide competition
recognizing outstanding achievement among interactive media
producers. They recognize the best web sites, videos, mobile
applications and advertising. The 2018 competition attracted 800
entries spanning 37 U.S. states and 20 countries. A volunteer panel
of international professionals representing interactive media and
advertising judged the entries. Judges looked for the best blend of
originality, graphic design, user experience, communication,
technical merit and solution effectiveness.
"Much congratulations to DNR’s CDSS on an excellent and
efficient site that serves its Colorado community," said the
Statewide Internet Portal Authority’s (SIPA) Executive Director,
Jack Arrowsmith. "This secure, award-winning site is a great
example of how SIPA's self-funded model provides valuable, no-cost
services to state and local governments."
CDSS enlisted the services of CI, SIPA, the Governor’s Office of
Information Technology and the private digital agency, Elevated

local governments and educational entities through a contract with
SIPA—the official internet portal connecting the public with

leaders to focus on delivering on-demand, digital government

appropriations. The CI/SIPA partnership has benefited more than 40
