NOVEMBER 29th, 2016: AG WATER SUMMIT at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, Co-hosted by: Interbasin Compact Committee & Colorado Ag Water Alliance. Without acting, Colorado could lose up to an additional 700,000 acres of irrigated agricultural land by 2050. The Colorado Water Plan recognizes that some acres will likely go out of production, and sets a goal for agriculture to keep pace with growing needs. The plan points to Alternative Agricultural Transfer Methods (ATMs) as a potential solution to help alleviate traditional buy-and-dry, with a Measurable Objective of achieving 50,000 AF of voluntary ATMs by 2030. After over 10 years of exploring ATM concepts we are well prepared to implement projects that provide continued irrigation and revenue to local agriculture, while intermittently supplying non-agricultural uses with important water deliveries. Come learn about the most promising ATM projects and tools to help advance further success in the field. Please attend if you have questions about ATMs or are interested in learning more. This is a Free Event, but registration is required (includes lunch). For registration and more information follow this link: IBCC/CAWA Ag Water Summit.
