    logo_cwag3Verde Valley AZ (September 18, 2016) – What are the most significant regional water events and issues the Citizens Water Advocacy Group (CWAG) has focused on over the 14 years since our founding in 2002? What issues are going to be front and center in the future?

    CWAG President Chris Hoy and CWAG hydrologist Wayne Hood, R.G. will answer these questions in a presentation titled, “Regional Water Issues – Past, Present and Future” when CWAG meets on Saturday, Oct. 8 from 10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Granite Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation building, 882 Sunset in Prescott (two blocks behind True Value).

    Hood will summarize the most important regional water science topics studied and reported on by CWAG’s water professionals (and others): the declining water levels in the Little Chino aquifer and the need to achieve Safe Yield in the Prescott Active Management Area (PrAMA); the City of Prescott’s plans to import groundwater from the Big Chino aquifer and the consequent threat to the upper Verde River; the possibility that the threat can be eliminated through (as yet undefined) mitigation; and possible solutions to the problem of creating a sustainable water supply other than importation, such as direct potable reuse and rainwater harvesting.

    Hoy will review groundwater-pumping regulations imposed by the state on AMA communities, the “plat rush” that preceded implementation of the regulations, the importance of Propositions 400 and 401, and possible solutions to our regional water problems, such as a water management district, mandatory conservation and more.
    The program will end with an audience Q&A. For more info, call 445-4218, e-mail info@cwagaz.org or visit www.cwagaz.org.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
