Former River District Manager Eric Kuhn Joins Speaker Lineup

Eric Kuhn is the the latest addition to the speaker lineup for “Water Connections: SW’s Virtual Water Cooler," an online event jointly hosted by the Southwestern Water Conservation District and Four Corners Water Center at Fort Lewis College on Wednesday, October 14th from 4:00-5:30 p.m.

Author and former general manager of the Colorado River District, Eric Kuhn will address this question: "What can the last 20 years tell us about the future of Colorado River hydrology?" For a preview, check out this white paper he recently co-authored on the topic. 

Register now to reserve your spot (it's free). You'll hear short state and local water updates. It’s like visiting the water cooler to get the latest local scoop and connect--only virtual.

Kate Greenberg (Colorado Department of Agriculture) and Celene Hawkins (Colorado Water Conservation Board) will speak to the status of Colorado's agriculture and state water funding in the midst of a pandemic.

Rob Genualdi (Division 7 Engineer), Bob Hurford (Division 4 Engineer), and Susan Behery (US Bureau of Reclamation) will provide a summary of the dismal 2020 water year in southwest Colorado. Ken Curtis (Dolores Water Conservancy District), Gretchen Rank (Mancos Conservation District), and Simon Martinez (Ute Farm and Ranch) will add observations from the season and provide a look ahead to what it might mean for water year 2021.

Finally, we'll hear the latest from various local water agencies and organizations in short "pop-up" updates from across southwest Colorado. 

This event is about making connections, so be ready to engage via the chat, poll questions, and interesting content. See you next week!
