About this listen

Nearly 380 Columbia River water right holders are at risk of their water getting shut off when the next Columbia River drought is declared in Washington state. Are you one of them?

Join host Kristina Ribellia as she sits down with Heather Hazlett and Scott Turner from Washington State Department of Ecology’s Office of Columbia River, along with Dan Haller, PE, CWRE of Aspect Consulting, A Geosyntec Company. Together, they unpack Ecology’s groundbreaking Columbia River Drought Insurance Program—a forward-thinking initiative designed to support those affected by Columbia River drought declarations.

In this insightful discussion, our guests break down what happens when Washington state declares a drought on the Columbia River, how often these declarations occur, and who is most impacted. More importantly, they dive into how this innovative insurance program can help water right holders manage the risks of curtailment and safeguard their access to water.

Don’t miss this essential conversation. Tune in to discover what this means for you and the proactive steps you can take to prepare for future Columbia River droughts.
