Water’s Uncertain Future

An overview of the current water challenges facing agriculture, with emphasis on depleting aquifers (for example, Ogallala) and drought-stricken rivers (for example, Colorado River). Time will be spent discussing policy changes and potential legal solutions, along with a primer on water law generally.

He regularly reviews project development plans, surveys, and title insurance commitments, and assists with local land-use planning and title review, due diligence, and curative. He assists in project development by helping clients navigate, among other issues, NHPA Section 106 consultations, BLM and USFS land access and approvals, and coordinating land use permitting with state and local agencies.
