    logo_verde_river_basin_partnershipVerde Valley AZ (January 16, 2016) – On Tuesday, February 2nd at 10:30 a.m., Katharine (Kathy) Jacobs will be giving a free public presentation titled, “Perspectives on Water Management in Arizona: Opportunities for Innovation” at the Yavapai County Administration Building in Prescott, 1015 Fair Street, in the Board Room.

    Although Arizona’s groundwater management program is the envy of many in the west, the primary focus of the water management efforts of the last 35 years has been the Active Management Areas (AMAs), where the majority of the population lives. There have been significant successes in a wide range of issues within the AMAs, but habitat and surface water protection were never intended as outcomes of the Arizona Groundwater Management Act.

    Meanwhile, the pressure is building on the aquifers and river systems outside of the AMAs, and climate change is leading to a wide range of additional challenges across the state. Many solutions have been discussed in the past, particularly those focused on the San Pedro and the Verde, but none can be declared a “success” at this point. It is time to reconsider some of the solutions identified in the past and look for opportunities for innovation.

    There is a movement happening in the A.I. universe that few are talking about but soon almost everyone that uses it, will. People are moving beyond using their A.I. as tools for research, writing, editing, etc. and are now beginning to use their A.I.s for other things, like advice, conversation and even counseling.
