Webinar: Sharing the Balance of Stewardship: the Blackfoot Drought Response Plan
April 14, 2016 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
As water supply patterns fluctuate wildly from what we once knew as the norm, regional economies and valued natural resources face an uncertain future. In response, drought resiliency has become a growing focus of local communities, government agencies and watershed groups. In Western Montana’s Blackfoot Watershed, diverse watershed stakeholders have been working collaboratively for 20 years to share the burden of those low water years, but also the benefits of a coordinated water conservation and stewardship strategy. This webinar will illustrate how the Blackfoot Drought Response Plan works and how it has evolved recently in response to persistent drought, changing watershed priorities, and a new tribal water compact.
