2018 Andy Aldax Carson River Watershed Award Nominations
The Carson Water Subconservancy District is now taking nominations for candidates to receive the 2018 Andy Aldax Award as described below:
Award Purpose and Scope
The CWSD Andy Aldax Award for Exemplary Service in Conservation and Protection of the Carson River Watershed was initiated in 2007 to honor Andy Aldax, a Carson Water Subconservancy District (CWSD) Board member since its inception in 1959. Andy has been a life-long resident, farmer, and dairyman in the Carson Valley of northern Nevada and has demonstrated an ongoing dedication to improving his community, as well as the Carson River Watershed.
The Carson River runs approximately 184 miles beginning in Alpine County, California and continuing through Douglas County, Carson City, Lyon County, and Churchill County, Nevada. Its watershed encompasses approximately 3,966 square miles. The Carson River Watershed Vision is to achieve healthy sustainable watersheds within the entire Carson River Basin; to achieve improved watershed conditions, so all lands and waterways (surface and underground) safely receive, store, and release clean water for the good of all peoples, environments and natural resources of the Carson River Basin; to achieve this vision through community led and private/public partnerships for implementation of local and basin wide plans and projects.
This award recognizes individuals or organizations for significant contributions in promoting and achieving the Carson River Watershed Vision.
