Commissioner Camille Calimlim Touton, Deputy Commissioner David Polumbo and other officials from the Colorado River Basin (CRB) visited CADSWES on June 5 for a special celebratory luncheon and award ceremony to honor the Bureau of Reclamation team stationed at CADSWES for their contributions to the ongoing process to determine the future management of the CRB.

11 of the Reclamation employees stationed at CADSWES received a certificate of recognition from the Commissioner for their efforts and accomplishments in this important process. CADSWES Director Dr. Edie Zagona provided a brief history of the close collaboration between Reclamation and CADSWES over the past 35 years in innovating the approaches and decision support tools that have supported the government’s successes in managing the Colorado River and numerous other river basins. “Another great outcome of this collaboration has been the many graduate students who have contributed to the science during their academic experience and are now leaders at Reclamation and other organizations in the global water management community,” Zagona said.
