This training is being held in Pacific Time.

Description:

Have you thought about what you would do if drought impacted your water supply? Have you seen falling groundwater tables and wondered if your water will continue to flow into the future? Are you concerned about how to best protect your system from wildland fires? Are blizzards blanketing your assets? Besides Nevada being the driest state in the Nation, we’ve experienced extreme climatic conditions including record winters and wildfire season is almost year-round nowadays. Planning your water systems’ response to climate extremes can help build resiliency for your system and help you ensure your community is served.

Participants will learn:

·        Current water supply and drought information for their region

·        Water conservation measures that can be implemented to reduce water usage

·        How to conduct a water audit and reduce water loss in the water system

·        Education, incentives, and rate structures to promote water conservation

·        Drought contingency planning to ensure the supply of potable water

·        Where to find online resources for drought monitors, SnoTel sites, and wildfire mapping

·        How to create buffer zones for wildfire to protect system assets

·        Tools to keep your assets in-sight even during blizzards
