The next time I post this I’ll be off the AWRA Board of Directors after five years. Carol Collier will be your new President. She’ll do a great job, following on the heels of Bill Battaglin. Mark Dunning will be waiting in the wings as President-Elect. Check out the rest of the new board here.

Enjoy the rest of 2012, and have a safe and happy start to the New Year!

“Developing a system that manages groundwater in the West in a sustainable manner is as easy as standing blindfolded on a greased bowling ball while removing a straitjacket and solving differential equations. But it is something we must summon the will to do.” – Stephen Grace, Dam Nation: How Water Shaped the West and Will Determine its Future (thanks to Emily Green in High Country News)
