Montana Water Summit dives deep on environmental and legal issues

A Helena conference about water in the West is drilling down into important questions about surviving in a changing world.

The Montana Water Summit http://dnrc.mt.gov/divisions/water/management/training-education/2018-montana-water-summit is focused on asking questions about the most important resource in the West, and specifically in Montana: water.

Montana is a headwater state, with complex ecosystems of mountains, basins, valleys and plains that all demand different management plans. And those complexities brought some 300 people out in full force of the water policy intersection Tuesday to listen to speakers discuss Montana’s water past and future.

First-ever Montana water summit seeks ripple effect

Nearly 300 people at Tuesday’s first-ever Montana Water Summit, which looked at water issues and challenges in the state, were told that some would have to undergo a sea change in their thinking about water issues.

“We need to rid ourselves of the notion of water wars,” said John Tubbs, director of the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, which organized the event. “We are in this together.”
