At CWAG’s February 14 presentation, Guest Speaker Kathryn Sorensen, Ph.D. will provide a broader perspective on the water issues introduced at our Annual Member Meeting in January. Dr. Sorensen will discuss regional water management planning concepts, water conservation issues, aquifer level monitoring, Verde River flow, the Big Chino pipeline, and how “paper water” facilitates population growth, among other topics.
