Water is our most precious resource. When it comes to the City of Tucson’s management of it, someone must take on the important role of making sure everything they do is legal and above board. From Water Service Area Policy to Water Infrastructure Incentives to water sharing agreements, someone must make sure that all is in good legal order. Chris Avery is that person.
Chris will share with us Tucson’s water resource positions regarding the state’s CAP supply, lower basin agreements and shortage threats. He will also talk us through how shortage cuts could impact Tucson and what the legal implications are. Chris has legacy knowledge and experiences that we hope he will want to share because he has played a major role in executing quite a few things that impact our lives every day. Please join us for the inside scoop. This show made possible due to the generous support of Tucson Water.
