2018 Anne Schneider Lecture
Kevin O’Brien, a leading water rights attorney at Downey Brand, and Maurice Hall, with Environmental Defense Fund, will be the distinguished lecturers for the 2018 Anne Schneider Lecture.
O’Brien and Hall will discuss whether California can successfully integrate groundwater and surface water under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. Passed in 2014, the law ushered in a new era of groundwater management with the goal for local and regional agencies to develop and implement sustainable groundwater management plans with the state as the backstop.
Following the lecture, the discussion and questions will be led by State Water Resources Control Board Member DeeDee D’Adamo.
The event will feature a reception after the lecture.
The annual lecture series is brought to you by the Anne Schneider Fund and Steering Committee to encourage professional and personal commitment to water law and policy and the conservation of our special landscapes in memory of Anne’s lifelong devotion to these areas.
