2023 Water Fluency Program -
Registration NOW OPEN!

A professional development course to help you understand water and lead with confidence

The Water Fluency Program offers immersion in the language of water as well as tools for navigating the culture, complexity, and future of water management and policy issues.

Now in its 9th year, Water Fluency is a professional development course designed for anyone interested in gaining an in-depth understanding of Colorado water management and protection. Typical participants are involved with making decisions about water, but may feel they lack basic background on water management and the regulatory environment to confidently make those decisions.

This comprehensive program provides an opportunity for participants to learn about water through three virtual program days and a two-day in-person session with highly sought-out lectures, discussions, exclusive access to water sector leaders, breakout networking opportunities, site visits, a complete set of WEco’s Citizen’s Guides, and inter-session assignments.

Program curriculum covers:
- Colorado’s water resources
- Legal and institutional frameworks
- Water resource management
- Colorado water for the future

The program covers statewide water topics blended with local examples as we travel around the state each year to bring the most current examples of innovative water practices. This year we will be highlighting the southern part of Colorado by showcasing water management examples from the beautiful Rio Grande Basin. Participants from across Colorado will benefit from the content.

What our past Water Fluency Participants had to say:

“The virtual class effectively delivered an amazing curriculum on a vast and varied topic. This education was a door opening experience to a much wider world than I had imagined. Thank you!”

“The broad-based education & knowledge gained was truly enlightening. From headwaters, aquifers, etc. to the end user, water is much more complex than many of us ever knew. My understanding and respect level for those in the biz is now through the roof.”

“Incredibly comprehensive, the best speakers you could ask for, and high quality presentations and coordination.”
