Three Drop Thursday
Friends of Confluence West -
Welcome to Three Drop Thursday, a snapshot of what we’ve been paying attention to this week.
This week: A Good One, Look Familiar, and Tis the Season.
For the West,
Kimery
PS - If you didn’t see the November 17 Three Drop Thursday, you missed learning about $3.5B in forest health and source water restoration funding, everything you wanted (and didn't!) want to know about the Colorado River Basin, and a particularly good quote.
Looks like a good one!
We don't often promote conferences (there are so many of them!), but this one looks too good to miss: Miguel Flores, Kathy Jacobs, Kathryn Sorenson, Daniel McCool, Doug Kenney, Darryl Vigil – and other 'all stars' speaking at the Confluence - The Colorado River at the Compact’s Centennial – with a special emphasis on tribal water rights. Next Tuesday, December 6 – but for those not in Tucson that day, you can email aleinberger@arizona.edu for the Zoom link. And it’s free! (Painting by Patrick Kikut)
Look familiar?
Jay Lund, Director of the Center for Watershed Science, UC Davis (and long-time California water guru), put together this chart. Laugh, or cry – your choice. As Jay notes at the end of his post: “Given predictions of climate and ecological disasters, the future looks simultaneously bright, terrible, and worse for those not prepared."
Tis the Season!
