Washington Water Law & the Public Trust CLE: Living Within Our Water Means
2015 was a very difficult water year, as a nearly-unprecedented drought showed the limits of our water supply. Agriculture and urban users were forced to cut back on their water use, and the impacts on fisheries remain to be seen. But Washington's water issues are not limited to drought years the experts agree that population growth and climate change will make water scarcity the norm in the future, as well as endangering water quality. This CLE will explore how Washington can live within its water means while protecting our environment. Speakers will review recent developments in water law and land use, including several important court decisions, and discuss tools for conserving, allocating, and re-using water.
Registration will open at 7:45 am, and the event will go from 8 am 5 pm.
We will be holding the event at the 2100 Building
Lunch will be provided!
