Working
Teams
To focus the attention of
the limited resources of
the the Water Assembly for the
upcoming year, fifteen
potential projects were ranked
(see the results of this
ranking)
during the Eleven
Annual
Assembly on Growth, Ecology & Traditions held June 9, 2007.
Two
areas stood out:
the Public Outreach and
the Water Rights Issues.
Two working teams
have
formed to develop work plans.
The following two
pages summarize the work
of the two groups (Public
Outrech Team and Water Rights
Issues Team)
- Public
Outreach Team -
the focus is to
increase
the levels of water awareness and cooperation in the general public through
continued media campaigns; development of
educational handouts, op-eds, and materials; adult education courses; sponsoring publicity events; booth participation at
public events; producing educational videos; and/or offering briefings to
existing groups or associations.
- Water
Rights Issues Team -the
focus is to facilitate the
removal of ambiguities in water rights ownership in the region. Activities could include: establishing a
program to assist residents in preparing for adjudication, creating an
informational discussion round-table or even a negotiating table, maintaining a
media campaign on the costs of failure, and by encouraging appropriate governmental
action -- perhaps teaming with other entities to accomplish the above
