“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. 18.
The doors will open at 5:30, and films will begin at 6:30 p.m.
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.
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 the SJWCD.
The mission of SJWCD is to be an active leader in all issues affecting the water resources of the Upper San Juan River Basin.
