Citizens Water Advocacy Group Monthly Public Meeting
How to Manage Land to Benefit the Local Aquifer
On Saturday, May 10, the Citizens Water Advocacy Group (CWAG) will host an informational presentation by Ricardo Aguirre, Director of Land Management and Water Security at West Consultants. Aguirre will illustrate methods for restoring watershed function in both rural and urban areas with the intent to benefit the local aquifer. He will discuss ongoing land restoration and groundwater recharge projects across the state with a particular focus on the innovative stormwater collection and recharge planning-level project now underway in Prescott Valley. There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions. Please join us for this important presentation!
This will be a hybrid meeting: in person and on Zoom. To attend in-person, join us at the Granite Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation building, 882 Sunset in Prescott (2 blocks west of True Value). The presentation will start at 10 a.m. There will be coffee and snacks at 9:45 a.m. for informal conversations before the program. Individuals wishing to view the presentation via Zoom can register at the “Next Event” link at www.cwagaz.org. Questions/comments? Email us at [email protected] or call 928-445-4218.
About CWAG: Founded in 2002, the mission of the Citizens Water Advocacy Group is to protect the flow of the upper Verde River and to protect the long-term water supply for the Quad Cities region. CWAG develops science-based positions on critical water issues and educates citizens and elected officials on sensible water policies.
About the Speaker: Ricardo Aguirre is WEST’s Director of Land Management and Water Security. His focus is integrating natural processes into large-scale engineering projects. He has a profound interest in reversing desertification symptoms by increasing soil organic matter, harvesting stormwater, and implementing methods for quickly percolating stormwater to benefit the local aquifer. These solutions have a measurable benefit to mitigate flooding, improve both stormwater and soil quality, conserve water, provide passive irrigation for vegetation, and reduce the heat island effect. Aguirre’s project experience includes both infrastructure and land management improvements for communities that have been adversely impacted by stormwater and face water scarcity.
