MONTCLAIR, Calif., May 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Chris Austin,
author of the popular Maven's Notebook website and a prominent
figure in California water news,
will be one of the featured guests and moderators at Chino Basin
Water Conservation District's Symposium on Statewide Conservation
next month.
Austin, who has been writing about California water since 2007, is known for her
unbiased and accurate reporting and news curation on the most
significant issues in water, including the Sacramento-San Joaquin

Governor's Executive Order to make conservation a California way of life and establish a
long-term conservation framework, enforcement and equity, water use
efficiency targets, and balancing conservation and agriculture.

Austin, author of the popular Maven's
Notebook, has agreed to help moderate the compelling
dialogue," said Eunice Ulloa,

voices in California water, Ms.
