September 12 – Resiliency in the Face of Scarcity: Why Water Banks Make Sense

We’re living in a region with limited water supplies and imbalanced distribution. Water banks create flexibility in how water can be distributed to meet needs. Find out how we can use water banks in Central Oregon to enable the flexible and voluntary market-based reallocation of water, particularly during drought conditions.

August 17 – Whose Water is it Anyway? Water Rights 101

Watch this seminar to find out more.
