    logo_verde_river_basin_partnershipVerde Valley AZ (June 6, 2015) – A field trip reviewing the potential application of rainwater harvesting for subsequent aquifer recharge and storage will be offered Wednesday, June 17 at 10:30am for free. The event will take place at the Yavapai County Administrative Building, in Board Chambers, 1015 Fair Street. From there, participants will carpool or caravan to the site in north Prescott Valley.

    This field trip is part of the ongoing monthly educational program series offered by the Verde River Basin Partnership (Partnership). No RSVP is necessary. Please bring a lunch and water/a beverage with you, since after the field trip there will be additional talk and a picnic lunch, ending around 1:30 p.m. Doug McMillan – a retired engineer with 34 years of experience – will be the guide for this event.

    photo_dougmcmillanOne of the water supply alternatives identified in the Central Yavapai Highlands Water Resource Management Study (CYHWRMS) was “Alternative 8 – Rainwater Harvesting – Aquifer Storage.” The study describes Alternative 8 as a variety of rainwater harvesting methods to capture rainwater that would normally be lost to evaporation and the transport of that captured rainwater to other locations for aquifer recharge.

    One of the 10 rainwater harvesting scenario locations considered in the CYHWRMS report was the North Prescott Valley area in the Lonesome Valley. This area includes two residential subdivisions with existing stormwater infrastructure that collects impervious surface runoff that potentially could be transported to the pervious soils of Granite Creek to the west for recharge into the Little Chino aquifer. Doug McMillan’s presentation will address the potential application of CHYWRMS Alternative 8 in this specific region.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
