“The Importance of the Colorado River to Arizona’s Future” |
 |
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 |

This year, in collaboration with the Central Arizona Project, we have planned an informative and forward-looking session on the importance of the Colorado River to Arizona. It’s been 80 years since the Boulder Canyon Project Act, and 40 years since the Colorado River Basin Project Act, which authorized construction of the CAP. This timely conference will look forward 40 years, to 2048, to answer the question; What will the Colorado River mean for Arizona's future? Conference topics include: Water use by major water using sectors and regions; implications of drought on the Colorado River to Arizona; interstate and intrastate water banking and recovery; implementation of the Lower Colorado River Multispecies Conservation Program; and meeting the water needs of the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District. These and other issues will be addressed by a roster of distinguished and knowledgeable speakers, including Reclamation Commissioner Bob Johnson, CAP Board President Susan Bitter Smith, and DWR Director Herb Guenther. We expect a wide-ranging and insightful discussion. Please join us! |
