Start Date: Jul 1, 2020
End Date: Mar 31, 2023
Objective:
Contribute to the Upper Rio Grande basin study by evaluating agricultural adaptation impacts on water resources at the basin scale via both spatial modeling and community engagement approaches.
Approach:
We propose that the Adaptation Workbook be used in a workshop or focus group setting with Upper Rio Grande water managers and representatives from National Institute of Applied Science / Northern Forests Climate Hub and the Southwest Climate Hub will facilitate the meeting. The list of adaptation options generated by this activity will be compiled into a workshop summary report. We will then research existing literature and practice to characterize potential water savings.
