CV Water Counts Academy

CV Water Counts is excited to be gearing up for the tenth year of the Water Counts Academy, designed for community leaders in the Coachella Valley who want to learn about local water resources.

This comprehensive course will cover a variety of topics and, although subject to change, may include: Course Overview, Collaboration, and Governance; Water Supply (Water Sources), Planning, and Conservation Regulations (including Salton Sea Management); the Delivery of Safe, Reliable Water (Water Systems, Water Quality); the Cost and Value of Water—and Conservation (Understanding the Cost, Financial Responsibility and Customer Support, Why Conservation Matters).

The program traditionally begins in late January or early February, and includes five in-person classes. The first four classes will be held on Tuesdays from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at UCR Palm Desert, with the fifth and final session being a Saturday half day (morning) tour. Dates will be announced in December. The application deadline is Friday, January 9.
