The City Club of Central Oregon’s August forum, Doing More with Less Water in Central Oregon, will explore the conservation, technology and policy solutions to how to keep more water in the system for all users. The forum is presented in partnership with The Bulletin.

“Water and drought are extraordinarily complicated issues caught up in public policy and the myriad of users and priorities for water use,” said Kim Gammond, CCCO Executive Director. “We are going to focus on what is being done and what can be done to mitigate the repercussions of our competing uses and the current drought.”

The forum will be moderated by Zack Demars, Special Projects Reporter for The Bulletin. Demars will also have a featured story on the topic in the Aug. 14 issue of The Bulletin. Panelists include: Erin Kilcullen, General Manager at the Deschutes Soil and Water Conservation District, Kate Fitzpatrick, Executive Director at Deschutes River Conservancy and Michael Buettner, Utility Director for the City of Bend.

Brought to you by the City Club of Central Oregon with sponsorship the Desert Pine Group at Morgan Stanley.
