News & Announcements

 
 
Bruce Whitehead, from the Southwestern Water Conservation District, addressed the Club.  The Southwestern Water Conservation District (SWCD) was created by the Colorado General Assembly in 1941 and is one of four Conservation Districts in the State.  The SWCD is celebrating its 75th year of being charged to protect, conserve, use and develop the water resources of the Southwestern basin for the welfare of the District.  Mr. Whitehead informed us that the snow-pack reached 128% of normal this year which is good news for water resources!  We also got a run-down on various water related issues that are working their way through the legislative process this year.
