*Title:*Securing Water for the Environment: An Update on Conserve to 
Enhance

The WRRC has been involved in efforts around the West to develop 
community-based support for environmental enhancement through Conserve 
to Enhance pilot programs. With a pilot program starting this spring in 
Tucson, Arizona, and many partners exploring the potential for using 
this mechanism in other communities, this innovative idea is spreading 
quickly. Come learn about how we are working to make sure that 
individual water conservation actions lead to major environmental 
benefits and more sustainable water management.

Title:*   Successfully Reducing Your Groundwater Footprint and Second and Third Order Effects

Fort Huachuca has been very successful at reducing its groundwater footprint through conservation, reuse, and recharge, but there are second and third order effects of doing so.   Conservation reduces the amount of water available for treatment, reuse, and recharge.   Effective conservation also results in increasing concentrations in influent at a wastewater treatment plant that require adjustments in the treatment processes.   Ms. Mulhern's presentation will explain how Fort Huachuca has been successful and how it is coping with its challenges.
