DARCA will be hosting its 7th Annual Convention February 18-20, 2009 in Pueblo, Colorado at the Pueblo Convention Center. The convention - Ag to Urban Transfers of Water: Can Ditch Companies Come Out Ahead? - will deal with the pressures facing ditch companies and water owners. There are timely and innovative developments in the state in this area and the conference will feature this work including strategies and alternatives to buy and dry arrangements. The convention will provide a wealth of information relevant to Colorado’s water providers on the innovative developments in the state regarding ag to urban transfers of water.
Don Ament, Former Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture, will be the keynote speaker on the first day of the convention. During the two-day conference, a wide variety of speakers will discuss transfer mechanisms for alternatives to buy-and-dry including the on-going efforts of the Super Ditch in the Arkansas Valley. Farmers, ranchers, agricultural groups, engineers, lawyers, and municipalities will present their views on this timely subject.
On the second day, Justice Greg Hobbs of the Colorado Supreme Court will deliver his presentation on How Drought Has Shaped Colorado Water Law.
Additionally, the pre-convention workshop, Owners’ Guide to Dam Safety, Operation, and Maintenance will be offered on Wednesday, Feb 18, also at the Pueblo Convention Center.
