2018 WWA Stakeholder Meeting
-
We will welcome two guest speakers, Bill McCormick, Chief of the Colorado Dam Safety Office and Dr. James Prairie, a hydrologist with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation at CADSWES. Each will give a talk on current projects with WWA that illustrate the entrainment of science into management decisions. Mr. McCormick will review the Colorado-New Mexico Regional Extreme Precipitation Study and considerations of PMP (probable maximum precipitation) in a changing climate. Dr. Prairie will discuss a new project with WWA synthesizing the latest in climate and hydrologic science for the management of the Colorado River.
We will also provide an overview and discuss current and upcoming WWA projects with a particular focus on the 2018 drought experienced in our region.
