COSF: Water: Where it comes from, how we use it, where it goes—& why it matters

Please join Conejo Open Space Foundation for a live online presentation by local expert Jennifer Lancaster who will discuss the origins of our water, how it’s used, where it winds up, and whether those practices are sustainable at their current levels. After the presentations, there will be a Q & A session for attendees to ask about issues of prime interest to them.

Although the Conejo Valley received unusually abundant rain this year, water will continue to be of critical concern for Ventura County residents and our county’s primary industry, agriculture. Jennifer will also go over new challenges that water managers face from the state’s changing hydrology, and how we can better use the water we get through conservation and planning.
Ms. Lancaster is Principal Resource Specialist at Calleguas Municipal Water District. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of California, Riverside and her Master of Science in biology from California State University, Northridge. She began her career as a biological science technician for the National Park Service and has also taught at Moorpark and Pierce Colleges.
Held quarterly since 2019, the COSF Speaker Series has included climate authority Dr. Sean Anderson as well as wildlife experts Dr. Dan Cooper, Dr. Seth Riley, Dr. Jessica Sanchez, and the National Wildlife Federation’s regional executive director Beth Pratt.
