Mark your calendars for the 10th
Annual Arkansas River Basin Water Forum to be held March 4-5, 2004, in
Canon City, Colo. The Upper Arkansas Watershed Council is taking the lead
in organizing the 2004 event.
Speakers at the 2004 Forum will
include Colorado Supreme Court Justice Gregory J. Hobbs Jr., Assistant
State Climatologist Nolan Doesken, and former newspaper editor Ed Quillen,
whose opinions appear regularly in the Denver Post. Due to the continued
drought in many parts of Colorado, including the Arkansas River Basin,
many Forum presentations will emphasize water conservation.
The Forum has been a focal point of
current water issues in the Arkansas River Basin and in Colorado since
1995. Both presenters and attendees represent a wide variety organizations
and agencies interested in these topics.
