Area Manager, Bureau of Reclamation’s Yuma Area Office
Jennifer McCloskey, Area Manager for the Bureau of Reclamation’s Yuma Area Office will discuss the challenges she faces in balancing competing interests along the lower Colorado River. She will present information about Reclamation’s role in delivering millions of acre-feet of water primarily for agriculture use in Arizona, California and Mexico and the balancing act that occurs between international, agriculture, environmental, recreational and municipal users of Colorado River water. In response to municipal demand and drought conditions, the Yuma Desalting Plant was recently operated and information from that operation will be shared.
