Basin of Relations: Thinking Like a Watershed

In October, the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) and the BC Water and Waste Association are co-hosting a 2-day workshop titled 'From Rain to Resource: Managing Stormwater in a Changing Climate'.

The keynote speaker is Brock Dolman, Director of the California-based WATER Institute. He has been featured on many radio programs and in award-winning films, including The 11th Hour by Leonardo DiCaprio, and has published numerous articles on sustainable watershed management.

“Brock’s keynote presentation, entitled ‘Basins of Relations: Thinking Like a Watershed’, will offer interpretation about water, watersheds, human development patterns and restoration. Brock will discuss rainwater harvesting as a strategy of water conservation from roofs to the broader landscape,” states Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB Executive Director.
