SUMMARY:Hanging in the Balance: Competing Needs for Water in the West
DESCRIPTION:Hanging in the Balance: Competing Needs for Water in the West\nDemand for water is increasing while availability is decreasing. How do we balance the needs of the environment\, recreation\, and agriculture? Presented by Aspen Journalism and Colorado Water Trust in partnership with The Arts Campus At Willits (TACAW) and Aspen Public Radio\, the community is invited to this free event featuring an expert panel discussing the challenges and opportunities presented by our collective need to stretch a limited resource. Cash bar with hosted snacks opens at 5:15 pm with the discussion to begin at 6:15 pm. RSVP to reserve your seat. \nExpert Panel Featuring:\nHeather Sackett\, moderator\, is the editor and lead reporter for Aspen Journalism’s water desk\, a position she has held since 2019. As AJ’s water desk editor\, Heather covers how policy and politics affect water management in Colorado\, primarily in the Roaring Fork and other headwaters basins of the Colorado River. She has also reported for The Denver Post and the Telluride Daily Planet and has a master’s degree from CU’s Center for Environmental Journalism. Sackett’s reporting\, notable for its sophistication and accessibility\, has been recognized by the Colorado Press Association. \n  \nKate Ryan is a water lawyer who joined Colorado Water Trust in 2018 and was appointed as Executive Director in 2023. As a lawyer\, the first case she took through water court was for the Water Trust’s Three Sisters Ditch project on Hermosa Creek. Back in the early 2000s\, Kate had the chance to work with Recreational In Channel Water Rights for boating on the Eagle River. Kate’s past clients include farmers\, ranchers\, municipalities\, landowners\, the CWCB\, and the Water Trust itself. Before going to Berkeley Law she obtained a master’s degree in geography at the University of Colorado and worked as an associate scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center. \n  \nMark Harris is a Senior Water Resources Consultant for SGM Engineers and Consultants. Previously Mark was the General Manager of the Grand Valley Water Users Association in Grand Junction. In that capacity he worked on water supply\, conservation\, water quality\, streamflow\, and endangered species recovery issues locally\, regionally\, and state and Basin wide. His work included innovative collaborative efforts with many public\, private\, and NGO organizations\, including the Colorado Water Trust and its support of the Vinelands Power Plant in Palisade. Mark has been involved in production agriculture and agribusiness throughout the intermountain west\, has degrees in Economics from Colorado College and Agricultural Development from Texas A&M\, and lives on the farm he grew up on. \nHattie Johnson is the Restoration Director of American Whitewater’s southern Rockies Stewardship Program and is based in Carbondale\, Colorado. Prior to joining American Whitewater in 2019\, Hattie worked with Carbondale based engineering firm\, River Restoration\, for six years\, gaining an understanding of the connection of western communities to their waterways and how that connection encompasses long standing law and tradition as well as constant evolution. Hattie has a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree from the University of Georgia and is a licensed Professional Landscape Architect in Colorado. Her training as a landscape architect provides an interesting perspective on humans and their connection to the natural and built environment. Working in river restoration and recreation enhancement design provided insight into the physical and social connections people have to their local riverscapes. Shifting to water advocacy has provided an opportunity for a new approach and perspective to protecting and enhancing human relationships with rivers. In her spare time\, you can find Hattie and her family exploring headwaters creeks and rafting on the incredible desert river canyons of the Colorado Plateau. \nAndy Mueller is the General Manager of the Colorado River Water Conservation District\, whose mission is to lead in the protection\, conservation\, use and development of the waters of the Colorado River for the residents of the Western Slope and to safeguard for all of Colorado all waters of the Colorado River to which the state is entitled.

SUMMARY:Denver Water Law Review Symposium 2024
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 University of Denver Water Law Symposium will be hosted in the University of Denver Sturm College of Law on April 19th\, with a virtual attendance option available. The theme is Water as a Nexus: Agriculture in the Arid West.   \nAgricultural production in Colorado plays a significant role in the state’s economy and remains the economic backbone of many rural communities. Agriculture strengthens Colorado’s food security and upholds our state’s cultural identity. The agricultural sector in Colorado and across the West faces multiple water resource challenges including drought\, climate change\, and the potential for increasing supply gaps. Colorado is home to a notable group of water and agricultural experts who are driving innovative solutions for these challenges in the industry. \nThis year\, the University of Denver Water Law Review will facilitate conversations centering on the ways that the agricultural industry shapes the economic and environmental future of Colorado and the West amid the challenges posed by the climate crisis. The Symposium is excited to welcome not only water and environmental lawyers\, but also farmers\, ranchers\, tribal leaders\, agricultural engineers\, and conservationists. At the 2024 Symposium\, these voices will gather together to share their expertise and unique perspectives on the frameworks that govern water access\, agricultural management and conservation\, innovation and more. \n\nKate Ryan\, Executive Director of Colorado Water Trust\, will be a panelist during one of the symposium sessions.  \n\nThrough these panels\, attendees will consider the ways that innovative solutions can result in controversy\, and to begin to lay some groundwork for navigating within that controversy through cooperative and collaborative water management solutions. \nFor more information on the 2024 University of Denver Water Law Symposium please contact Claire Johnson or Nicole Pla.

SUMMARY:Colorado Gives Day
DESCRIPTION:Colorado Gives Day is a statewide giving day aimed at supporting local Colorado nonprofits and all of the amazing work that they do across the state. \nColorado Gives Day is December 10th\, but early giving started on November 1st\, so go ahead and get giving! \nThis year alone\, we were able to return over 1.9 billion gallons of water to rivers and streams across the state.

You can make a one-time or recurring gift online through the Colorado Gives Day website. \nAfter you make your gift\, we hope you’ll encourage your friends\, family\, and colleagues to donate too! Tag @ColoradoWaterTrust and use the #ColoradoGivesDay hashtag to join the excitement online. \nThank you for considering making a Colorado Gives Day donation today!

SUMMARY:Headwaters Jersey Launch
DESCRIPTION:Excited to purchase your Colorado Rapids Headwaters Kit? Head on over to the Banshee House in Denver to purchase your kit in person\, or visit AltitudeAuthentics.com or MLSstore.com to purchase your kit online! \nThe Headwaters Kit draws inspiration from the rivers that originate high in the Rocky Mountains\, providing water to millions across the American West. The design reflects the flowing waterways that shape Colorado’s topography\, symbolizing the connection between the state’s natural resources and its people. This is more than just a kit. It represents our two organization’s commitment to the community and our core values\, embracing the elements that define Colorado’s landscapes and lifestyle. \nThe jersey features a halo mint base\, representing the crisp\, clear snowmelt of Colorado’s rivers\, complemented by onyx\, tech green\, and traditional burgundy accents. For the first time in club history\, the Rapids’ secondary ‘C’ crest takes center stage on the front of the jersey. Additional features include Centennial 38’s iconic oars on the lower left jock tag\, honoring the Rapids’ dedicated supporter culture\, and the club’s primary crest subtly embedded within the front design\, reinforcing the team’s deep connection to its roots. \n \nAs part of the Headwaters Kit launch\, the Rapids have partnered with Colorado Water Trust to help to support our 27 projects aimed at improving water flow in rivers across the state. Since 2001\, Colorado Water Trust has restored 26.7 billion gallons of water and 814 miles of river\, ensuring that Colorado’s waterways continue to benefit communities\, ecosystems\, and industries statewide. \nLearn more about our community partnership with the Colorado Rapids here.
