I, Douglas Larson certify that:

1. I have  reviewed  this  annual  report on Form  10-KSB of  Eldorado  Artesian
Springs, Inc.

2.  Based on my  knowledge,  this  annual  report  does not  contain  any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such statements
were made,  not  misleading  with  respect to the period  covered by this annual
report;

3.  Based  on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
information  included  in this annual  report,  fairly  present in all  material
respects the financial  condition,  results of operations  and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;

4. The small business  issuer's other  certifying  officer and I are responsible
for establishing and maintaining  disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Exchange Acts Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))  for the small business  issuer
and we have:

     a)  designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  or  caused  such
     disclosure  controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision to
     ensure that material  information  relating to the small  business  issuer,
     including  its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made  known to us by others
     within those entities,  particularly during the period in which this annual
     report is being prepared;

     b) evaluated the  effectiveness of the small business  issuer's  disclosure
     controls and procedures and presented in this annual report our conclusions
     about the  effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures,  as of
     the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

     c)  disclosed  in this  report  any change in the small  business  issuer's
     internal  control  over  financial   reporting  that  occurred  during  the
     registrant's  most  recent  fiscal  that  has  materially  affected,  or is
     reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  the  small  business  issuer's
     internal control over financial reporting; and

5. The small business  issuer's other  certifying  officer and I have disclosed,
based  on  our  most  recent  evaluation  of  internal  control  over  financial
reporting,  to the small business  issuer's  auditors and the audit committee of
small business issuer's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
function):

     a) all significant  deficiencies  and material  weaknesses in the design or
     operation  of  internal   controls  over  financial   reporting  which  are
     reasonably  likely to adversely affect the small business  issuer's ability
     to record, process, summarize and report financial data; and

     b) any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves  management or other
     employees  who  have a  significant  role in the  small  business  issuer's
     internal controls over financial reporting.

        Date:  June 29, 2005                        /s/ Douglas Larson
