SUMMARY:COLUMBIA RIVER TRANSBOUNDARY GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS SYMPOSIUM 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Columbia River Treaty Modernization\, Emerging Initiatives\, and Public Governance in the Transboundary Columbia River Basin \nNovember 13th – 15th\, 2024 \nSpokane\, WA USA \nPlease join us on November 13th – 15th 2024\, for a gathering to engage residents of the international Columbia River Basin in public education and dialogue on transboundary issues and public involvement in river governance. The 2024 conference is hosted by the University of British Columbia Okanagan\, the Universities Consortium on Columbia River Governance\, the One River Ethics Matter Project\, the North American Youth Parliament for Water\, and the Climate Institute at Gonzaga University. \nThe Symposium will focus on: The Columbia River Treaty Modernization (presented by members of the U.S. and Canada/BC negotiating teams\, with an opportunity for public comment) water quality in the headwaters and transboundary mainstem; climate change; and salmon re-introduction and habitat restoration. The guiding principle of the conference is Ethics\, defined as Justice and Intergenerational Equity (righting historic wrongs and shared benefits in the context of water development\, and the legacy we leave future generations)\, Autonomy (a voice for the ecosystem)\, and Stewardship. The guiding principle of Ethics will be the lens through which the conference considers governance now and in the future in the Columbia Basin. \nGovernance will be considered in its broadest meaning to include formal government and informal efforts to take collective action. It will include discussion of public engagement\, transboundary information sharing\, and means to connect university research to efforts to address emerging issues in the basin. Information on the forum\, a preliminary agenda\, and lodging\, will be available soon on our website at: https://columbiabasingovernance.org/

SUMMARY:A strategic environmental water rights market for Colorado River reallocation
DESCRIPTION:Philip Womble\, Steven M. Gorelick\, Barton H. Thompson\, Jr.\, and J. Sebastian Hernandez-Suarez \n\n\n\nThe Colorado River system is among the world’s most overallocated basins\, struggling to supply water to the southwestern United States and Mexico. Consequently\, 90% of the basin’s native fish species are endangered\, threatened\, or extinct. Driven by a regional 24-year megadrought\, the U.S. allocated over $4 billion for water market transactions that pay farms\, cities\, and industries to extract less water. We developed a novel model of how strategic water markets can restore imperiled fish habitat\, integrating hydrology\, ecology\, economics\, and water rights for the river within Colorado under future climate change. Using the model\, we explore how strategically spending modest additional funds improves fish habitat compared to least-cost water-use reduction plans under various plausible current and future formal and informal water markets. We demonstrate pathways to build towards strategic water markets by prioritizing individual transactions\, and we compare ecological and economic outcomes of water markets to mandatory water cutbacks under the governing 1922 Colorado River Compact. By developing a decision support tool that conveys model results to water market participants\, we can inform major ongoing initiatives to conserve water in the Colorado River basin.

SUMMARY:River Management Training Symposium:  Restoring Rivers for a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:April 8-10\, 2025 | Ashland\, Oregon\n  \nJoin the River Management Society for a week of technical training and peer learning in the immediate aftermath of the largest dam removal in US history at the Restoring Rivers for a Resilient Future River Management Training Symposium! The event will take place April 8-10\, 2025\, at Ashland Hills Hotel and Suites in Ashland\, Oregon with field sessions at regional restoration sites. \nRestoring free flow to nearly 300 miles of the Klamath River will provide a unique backdrop for sharing strategies and techniques that are restoring and rehabilitating watersheds and their communities across the country. Decades in the making\, this landmark dam removal project is a national case study in how to create previously unthinkable change through the restoration of relationships and the renewal of collaboration to create more resilient communities. In addition to the historic work on the Klamath\, we look forward to learning how groups are applying skills related to river flow\, water quality and collaborative experiences where you live and work. \nProfessionals from across the country—river managers\, rangers\, outfitters\, planners\, water trail coordinators\, advocates\, community leaders\, scientists\, and students alike—will share how they are evolving multidisciplinary\, collaborative approaches to address a range of topics including visitor use\, flood prevention and recovery\, fire and forest resilience\, water quality\, responsible recreation\, and development. You will gain new insights and practical tools you can apply to reset your rivers’ ecological integrity and biodiversity\, re-establish connections between their human communities and ecosystems\, and renew their long-term vitality.

DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 15\, 2025 \n12:00-1:00 \nDr. Sasha Richey McLarty is conducting research on seasonal groundwater dynamics in the Mid-Columbia Basin. The study helps quantify drawdown and rebound in the aquifer and may have implications for how remote sensing is used to evaluate regional groundwater trends. Results may be useful for decision makers focused on water use in the basin. \nFree but registration required. Register here.

SUMMARY:USGS National Water Availability Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, May 21\, 2025 \nTime: 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM EST \nLocation: Microsoft Teams Webinar \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the USGS Water Resources Mission Area for a briefing on the National Water Availability Assessment\, a pioneering scientific overview of water availability across the conterminous United States. \nThis new assessment is the first of its kind\, offering new insights on where there is a potential imbalance between water supply and demand in the United States. The assessment uses state-of-the-art models to fill in gaps between monitoring sites and sampling events and integrates information on water quantity\, quality and use for a more comprehensive understanding of water availability. The findings of the National Water Availability Assessment can be explored by reading the report\, retrieving data from the user-friendly National Water Availability Assessment Data Companion\, and touring the supplemental data visualization website. \nDuring this virtual event\, attendees will learn about the key findings of the Assessment and how to access the data\, hear stories of USGS water availability science across the country\, and have the opportunity to ask questions of the team behind this effort.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDirect link for registration: https://events.gcc.teams.microsoft.com/event/596e6c86-cc0f-4c9c-bd24-1b9a582bcb02@0693b5ba-4b18-4d7b-9341-f32f400a5494
