Posted

The San Juan Water Conservancy District (SJWCD) announces “This Is Your Watershed: Upper San Juan River,” a video premiere and water education event.

The public launch party is Nov. 18 at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts (PSCA), 2313 Eagle Drive. All are welcome and there is no charge. The doors will open at 5:30, and films will begin at 6:30 p.m.

“This Is Your Watershed: Upper San Juan River” is a series of three short videos by local filmmaker Christi Bode. 

The first, “The Value of Snow,” was released in September. The second, “The Waterways that Connect Us,” will premiere on Nov. 11.

Interviews with local water experts are featured in both films.

A panel of water professionals will discuss the topics featured in the films and address audience comments and questions. 

Before the program, local water-related organizations will present informational table-top exhibits about their roles and community service. 

The PSCA will provide a cash bar, and SJWCD will provide finger foods in the front room.

Funding to create “This Is Your Watershed: Upper San Juan River” comes from Colorado Water Conservation District and San Juan Water Conservancy District. 

The mission of SJWCD is to be an active leader in all issues affecting the water resources of the Upper San Juan River Basin.
