Since 2006, the Colorado Foundation for Water Education’s Water Leaders program has provided training in conflict resolution, communication and negotiation to participants across Colorado. Water Leaders participants benefit from extensive self-assessment and networking opportunities with similarly accomplished colleagues.
Thanks to Peter Binney of Merrick & Co, Jeff Drager of Northern Water and Emily Hunt of the City of Thornton for joining us to discuss approaches to planning future supply! The class learned a lot and had a very spirited discussion after your presentations!
Study says Colorado River water supply to fall short of demand. Why not reduce demand by reducing water waste in the areas that depend on that water supply?
