Event: March 6th Special Workshop: Meeting the challenges of the California water crisis

Posted by: Maven on January 27, 2010 at 8:20 am

From Best Best & Krieger:

“Six attorneys from Best Best & Krieger, known in California for its water law expertise, will present a special workshop March 6 in Huntington Beach to discuss water supply challenges in the drought-plagued state and offer strategies on how to proactively address shortages.

By attending “Twenty-First Century Challenges to Supplying Water,” you will get an update on drought conditions and an in-depth analysis of the regulatory and court-imposed restrictions impacting water supplies in California. The program will also examine the relationship between water scarcity, water supply planning and analyses, the land-use approval process and the impact on this process from recently passed water legislation.

Additionally, you will get practical tips on:
· Reducing water usage through recycled water, storm water capture and reuse, water conservation and drought management plans.
· Crafting water rate structures that encourage efficient use.
· Employing water efficiency practices to help meet a 20 percent per capita reduction in water use by 2020, as recently mandated by California law.

The workshop is being presented by the Special District and Local Government Institute in conjunction with a two-day governance seminar.

Several attorneys on the panel are directly involved in cases key to California’s water supply, including litigation impacting the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the state’s largest source of water for cities and farms. Participating attorneys are Shawn Hagerty, Roderick Walston, Kelly Salt, Paeter Garcia, Stefanie Hedlund and Steven Anderson.
