The Annual Colorado River Water Users Association Convention in Las Vegas. We will be posting the agenda and speaker list soon, as the committees are already hard at work lining up the program.

At the top of the list was the Drought Contingency plans for the Lower and the Upper Basins which was a triumph of collaboration in the basin from stem to stern.
