Water Planning and Decision-Making by Governmental Agencies, Conservancy Districts, and Utilities: Successfully Engaging with the Process

Tuesday, February 4
8:00 am – 10:00 am

Registration Required

As the southwestern U.S. labors under the challenges of an unprecedented megadrought, the pressure to reduce water use in all sectors continues to increase. This is particularly true for the golf industry, which presents a highly visible target to water agencies and utilities for demonstrating action toward water use reduction. This seminar will characterize the planning and decision-making processes employed by federal and state agencies, water conservancy districts, and utilities as they manage water use and supply under drought conditions and an increasingly variable climate. Methods for engaging with water agencies and utilities will be presented and discussed, as well as specific examples of successful cooperation. The ecosystem service contributions of golf to the environment will be emphasized as a basis for meaningful dialogue between all parties.
