Let's Talk About Water Adjudication In-Person
Join us at the library for an informational session on the Adjudication process of WRIA 1, often called the Nooksack area, which includes land surrounding the Nooksack River system.
The Department of Ecology manages the state's water supply to address the needs of people and the natural environment. Water availability is increasingly limited in Washington due to the pressures of warming temperatures on snowpack, streams and aquifers. The DOE is committed to finding long-term solutions to adapt to the future, but needs to understand who uses water and where. This includes water claimed by the Tribes and the Federal government. Ultimately, adjudication will enable reliable water management and provide predictability and consistency that will serve the local economy, communities and environment.
