Western Resource Advocates Water Efficiency August 9

[NaepcA1]

Dear All,

I am contacting you to provide an update on the Colorado River Basin-Wide water efficiency initiative. After a robust interview assessment and 4 iterative regional design charrettes with experts from the 7 Basin states and the federal government, we have found that there is enough interest and sufficient critical mass among stakeholders in the Basin to move forward with the concept of regional water efficiency collaboration.

Accordingly, we will be having a pre-organizational meeting webinar on Tuesday August 9, 2011, from 2-5 pm (MST), and an organizational meeting on October 4, 2011 from 1-5pm (PDT) in Las Vegas. A draft White Paper will be sent prior to the webinar that will provide an overview of the potential benefits and opportunities of water efficiency in the Basin, and a summary of the scoping results and recommendations.

We also want to inform you that we have a limited number of scholarships available to cover travel and lodging expenses for the meeting in Las Vegas. We are very much looking forward to the possibility of collaborating with you in this initiative. Please contact me to confirm participation in the webinar and/or organizational meeting, to request a travel scholarship, or if you have any questions related to the initiative.

Respectfully,

-Jorge
