In Memory of Our Dear Friend Evelyn Erlandsen

On May 14, our long-time friend and co-worker Evelyn Erlandsen passed away after a long courageous fight with cancer. She was 57. As her family noted in her obituary, she passed away comfortably at home on Mother’s Day.

It wasn’t as though we didn’t know about her heroism. A member of the Water Resources team on three separate occasions – she kept returning home! -- Evelyn resigned from her position with the Colorado River Management team in late April, just weeks before her passing. Our colleague was strong.

Punk revival!

Maybe it was a reflection of the economically tough times, but popular music tastes in the mid-to-late Seventies were on a quest for something… edgy.

The Beatles as a group were long since done and gone. Flower Power rock was on the wane. A disaffected, often bitter subdivision of youth culture was on the rise. It found its loud, discordant, often profane voice in something called… punk.

Arizona Department of Water Resources: An end-of-year report, of sorts

Groundwater Quote

It is a safe bet that at one time or another nearly every member of the Water Resources team has needed to explain to an acquaintance what we are not.

No, we’re not the people primarily responsible for assuring the quality of the state’s water supply. Those are our valued colleagues over at the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.

ADEQ is just across the hall. Come on over some day. We’ll introduce you.

Arizona Is Rising Up To Meet the Challenges of Falling Water Levels at Lake Mead

Last week's announcement by the Bureau of Reclamation that Lake Mead is projected at years end to be three feet above the level that would trigger reductions in water deliveries to Arizona, Nevada and Mexico was welcome news.

But we are not out of the woods.

Arizona has built a tradition of acting on its water issues well before the crisis hits. The people of Arizona have come to expect that level of preparation. We are not about to let them down.
