From email from the Salazar Rio Grande del Norte Center (Paul Formisano):
| Join Colorado attorneys Bill Paddock and David Robbins as they present “Elephant Butte Reservoir, the Rio Grande Compact, and Water Administration in the San Luis Valley” on Thursday, April 24, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in McDaniel Hall 101 at Adams State University. Paddock and Robbins have worked for many decades protecting water interests in the San Luis Valley and throughout Colorado. Their perspectives will provide timely insights into the 1938 Rio Grande Compact, how it shapes current river management in the San Luis Valley and the broader river basin, and last year’s Supreme Court ruling on Texas v. New Mexico and Colorado. The presentation will be followed by a free reception from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Vistas Restaurant in Rex Stadium on the Adams State campus sponsored by the Rio Grande Water Conservation District, the San Luis Water Conservancy District, and the Conejos Water Conservancy District. These events will be held in conjunction with the Rio Grande Compact Commission meeting on Friday, April 25, 2025 starting at 9:00 a.m. at the Rio Grande Water Conservation District office in Alamosa. This annual meeting brings together officials from Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas to discuss river policy and management. The meeting is free and open to the public. For more information about the April 24th events, please contact Salazar Center director Paul Formisano, Ph.D., at pformisano@adams.edu. |
