The first session of 2022 Rogue Valley Water Solutions Summit on Sept. 14, which featured several leaders in the Indigenous community, was well-received with nearly 90 participants. A recording of the session is available now for anyone who missed it and for those who wish to see the highlights again.
Southern Oregon Pachamama Alliance, in cooperation with a broad coalition of local and regional sponsors, is hosting the six-part Water Solutions Summit that is exploring current and new ideas for facing the challenges and impacts to Rogue Valley’s water.
Summit organizers believe our community can proactively, and with broad participation, support new ideas, mitigations and adaptations for the best outcomes for our valley’s water.
Five more sessions remain in the series, which solicits input from the valley’s citizens. The sessions are held on Zoom from 6 to 8 p.m. the Wednesday evenings of Sept.18, Oct. 12 & 26, and Nov. 9. A final session will be a longer in-person gathering on Saturday, Nov. 12, time and location to be announced.
Throughout the series the summit will call on a wide spectrum of perspectives and backgrounds to help participants understand current practices and challenges around the use, distribution, and current and anticipated impacts to the Rogue Valley’s water. Summit organizers believe our community can proactively, and with broad participation, support new ideas, mitigations and adaptations for the best outcomes for our valley’s water.
Participants will break into conversation circles to discuss key questions and share ideas that could result in creative, holistic solutions to meeting challenges to equitable sharing and caring for Rogue Valley water during each session.
