Ricardo Aguirre (West Consultants) will illustrate methods for restoring watershed function in both rural and urban areas with the intent to benefit the local aquifer. He will discuss on-going land restoration and groundwater recharge projects across the state  with a particular focus on the innovative stormwater collection and recharge planning-level project now underway in Prescott Valley.

The meeting will be held at the Granite Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation building at 882 Sunset, Prescott. Pre-registration is not necessary for the in-person meeting.

Ricardo Aguirre is WEST’s Director of Land Management and Water Security. His focus is on integrating natural processes into large-scale engineering projects. He has a profound interest in reversing desertification symptoms by increasing soil organic matter, harvesting stormwater, and implementing methods for quickly percolating stormwater to benefit the local aquifer. These solutions have a measurable benefit to mitigate flooding, improve both stormwater and soil quality, conserve water, provide passive irrigation for vegetation, and reduce heat island effect. Ricardo’s project experience includes both infrastructure and land management improvements for communities that 1) have been adversely impacted by stormwater and 2) face water scarcity.
