Learn the Basics and Beyond of Water in California

As drought and groundwater issues continue to dominate headlines, attend our popular Water 101 workshop to gain a deeper understanding of the key issues associated with the life-sustaining resource from the new groundwater law, to water rights, to how water moves across the state.

Leading policymakers and experts will serve as the teachers of this 1-1/2 day workshop on Feb. 5-6 at the Civic Center Galleria in West Sacramento.

Among the speakers are:

• Lester Snow, former California natural resources secretary and director of the state Department of Water Resources who now heads the California Water Foundation. Snow will discuss the state’s new groundwater law, among other hot topics.
• Tina Cannon Leahy, the principal consultant for the California Assembly Water, Parks & Wildlife Committee. She will give a behind-the-scenes look at the state Legislature and discuss the current legislative issues and how to work with lawmakers.
• Kim Delfino, California Water Commission member and California director for Defenders of Wildlife. She will discuss the next steps to the water bond that was approved by voters in November and the increasing role that alternative supplies such as recycling play in the make-up of the state’s water supplies.
