2010 Watershed Summit - A Great Success!
The non-floating Roaring Fork Watershed Summit was a huge success. With nearly 80 elected officials, agency staff, and water experts discussing critical water issues in the Roaring Fork Watershed, the conversation was candid and extremely useful. The suggestions made for solutions will be added to the greater effort of creating the Roaring Fork Watershed Plan, a document that will be used to help municipalities make critical water related decisions. It was stated many times throughout the day that this is only the beginning of the conversation, and that all entities must continue to have dialogue and discussion to find ways to manage the Roaring Fork Watershed to the best of their abilities.
The day began with Representative Kathleen Curry addressing the crowd and answering questions. Then discussion continued in break out 'boat groups' and then followed with lunch, an address by Ruedi Water and Power Authority's Executive Director Mark Fuller, and wrapped up by the 2010 River Conservator Rachel Richards.
