On July 1, the Consortium completed and submitted the final of nine data-driven reports to the Colorado Legislature. With the Consortium\u2019s updated strategic plan and the Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC)\u2019s recently adopted produced water rules now in place, Colorado remains at the forefront of informed, collaboratively produced water policy development.<br \/>\n\u201cThe accomplishments of the Colorado Produced Water Consortium are monumental since the mandatory use of recycled produced water will help limit the need for fresh water, enforce more sustainable water management strategies, and set a precedent for other states in the Arid West,\u201d said Thomas Borch, professor in Colorado State University\u2019s Department of Soil and Crop Sciences with a joint appointment in the Department of Chemistry and Consortium Member.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full press release here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dnr.colorado.gov\/colorado-celebrates-produced-water-policy-milestones\">https:\/\/dnr.colorado.gov\/colorado-celebrates-produced-water-policy-milestones<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- END block -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.agsci.colostate.edu\/borch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.agsci.colostate.edu\/borch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.agsci.colostate.edu\/borch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.agsci.colostate.edu\/borch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.agsci.colostate.edu\/borch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/labs.agsci.colostate.edu\/borch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":566,"href":"https:\/\/labs.agsci.colostate.edu\/borch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565\/revisions\/566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/labs.agsci.colostate.edu\/borch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.agsci.colostate.edu\/borch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/labs.agsci.colostate.edu\/borch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
