ALAMOSA, Colo. — The next Colorado Ag Water Alliance (CAWA) Ag Producers’ Water Workshop will be held Friday, February 28th at the Rio Grande Water Conservancy District in Alamosa from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. The event is free, and the organizers hope to have a good turnout of producers in the Rio Grande Basin region. See below for more information about CAWA:
- The Colorado Water Plan aims to address the water needs of cities, agriculture and the environment in light of projected shortages. Agriculture is a focus.
- What are alternative transfer methods? What’s the motivation for farmers and ranchers to participate in leasing or to improve irrigation efficiency? What are the barriers?
- Brief, highly focused presentations and panel dialogue will cover the basics, followed by opportunity for Ag producers to ask questions and engage in dialogue about what they see as opportunities and barriers—and how those barriers and opportunities might best be addressed.
