Aqua Blog Maven on last day of tour

Posted by: Maven on March 12, 2010 at 6:03 am

IMG_4682That’s the control panel at Metropolitan Water District’s Whitsett Pumping Plant, the start of the Colorado River Aqueduct. Yesterday was a busy, busy day, and I’ve seen a lot and heard from a lot of different people. I’ve taken a lot of great pictures, including some from the inside of the Yuma Desalting Plant that I’m looking forward to putting together into a slideshow.

Today, we’re visiting IID’s water control center, touring Imperial Valley and Coachella farms, and stopping at the Salton Sea.

IMG_4706I’ve had a great time on the tour and have had a chance to meet a variety of different people. It’s been great to  chat water with other interested people, see facilities normally unavailable to the general public, and hear from those actively involved in water issues. If you don’t really care for conferences, then you might really want to consider one of the Water Education Foundation’s tours. This is only the first one in a series which will be held throughout the year.

Tonight, home! Everything will return to normal on Saturday. And I’ll try and get a slideshow put together and all the photos I’ve taken uploaded onto flickr by Monday.

Enjoy your weekend!

    I’m so glad you like and learned a lot from the Tour. It covers lots of miles between Las Vtgas and Ontario, Califonia. Lots of stakeholders and interest groups. Hope we can continue to offer these tours. It’s really the best way to learn!
