The Southern Oregon Pachamama Alliance is hosting a 6-part Water Solutions Summit in cooperation with local and regional co-sponsors.
October 12 marks Session # 3, called “Channeling Better Water Outcomes for Agriculture.”
The session will take a look at how agriculture in our region is impacted by historic drought and the resulting low snowpack, irrigation allocations, water rights, well and reservoir limitations, and other factors.
This session will look at the factors above – which are already affecting farming practices in the valley – and the need for assistance to farmers for water-saving devices, land and crop management education, and investments in regenerative agriculture systems.
This Water Solutions Summit is dedicated to Grandmother Agnes Baker Pilgrim “Grandma Aggie,” the Voice for Water.
The vision for this summit is to be a space for community conversations in the spirit of an “environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just human presence” in the Rogue Valley.
Southern Oregon Pachamama Alliance has offered their intentions for the Water Solutions Summit:
- Increase our understanding of the Rogue Valley’s water sources and distribution systems;
- Explore the challenges and adaptations needed to face future impacts to these systems;
- Support awareness and appreciation for the living nature of water itself;
- Develop holistic solutions that support all of the valley’s communities.
