DARCA is returning to Durango and the Western Slope in Feb 2010! DARCA’s hosted its 1st Annual Convention back in 2003 in the town of Durango to an enthusiastic crowd of 75 participants. Founding DARCA members from both sides of the continental divide met one another for the first time. And you know what – we all got along, we shared info, and we have been working together ever since to help one another in the business of running ditch and reservoir systems.
Since then, DARCA conventions have been held in Greeley, La Junta, Montrose, Sterling, San Luis and Pueblo. The 8th Annual Convention, Feb 10-12 2009, Agricultural Water: Reinventing Strategies for a New World will provide a wealth of information on a broad array of issues relevant to Colorado’s water providers in the context of agriculture. DARCA realizes that the predominant use of ditch water is for agricultural purposes. Some of the presentations in February will include:
- The Role of Drainage on Agricultural Production and Colorado’s Agricultural Drainage Districts
- Powerful, Yet Low Cost GIS Applications for Ditch Companies
- Climate Change Impact on Agricultural Production and Water Supplies
- New Technologies for Water Monitoring
- Agricultural Efficiency Standards
- Agricultural Water Quality Issues
- Pressurized Systems
- And more…
DARCA members will be treated to a reception on Thursday night at the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum and a tour of the adjoining machine shop.
For information regarding convention registration as well as sponsorship or exhibitor opportunities please contact DARCA Executive Director, John McKenzie, via phone or email. Registration material coming soon.
