Picture 961From the Water Education Foundation:

The Colorado River is a lifeline to 25 million people in the Southwest. While the drought persists, the population increases and demand continues to grow in the Lower Basin states. How its water is used and managed to meet competing needs is the focus of the Water Education Foundation’s Lower Colorado River Tour, March 10-12, 2010.

Drought conditions and shortage criteria in the Colorado River Basin, the potential impact of the Quantification Settlement Agreement lawsuits, endangered species and multi-species planning and Salton Sea restoration projects are just some of the topics you will learn about from experts on all sides of these issues as you travel along the Lower Colorado River. Stops include the Drop 2 Reservoir Site, Yuma Desalting Plant, farms in the Imperial Valley and Coachella valleys, Hoover Dam and a boat ride on Lake Mead.

Registration is $650 per person, single occupancy room; $550 each for two people sharing a room. Register four or more people for a discount – single occupancy rooms $600.
