PROGRAM: "Regional Conveyance System Study"
SPEAKER:
Kelly L. Rodgers, Ph.D., P.E.
Director of the Colorado River Program
San Diego County Water Authority
The San Diego County Water Authority is studying a potential new aqueduct to transport its independent and highly reliable conserved water supplies from the Colorado River to San Diego County at a lower cost than other options. The second phase of the study is expected to be complete in summer 2022, at which point the Water Authority's Board of Directors will decide if and how to move forward. A Regional Conveyance System is one of the ideas being explored by San Diego County water leaders to enhance partnerships and provide solutions that make sense locally and more broadly as part of Governor Newsom's Water Portfolio Program to develop water resiliency statewide.
BIO: Kelly Rodgers has held several senior positions at the Water Authority, including project manager for the San Vicente Dam Raise Project, and then manager of the agency's Energy Program in 2015-2017. She started in her current post in 2017. Before joining the Water Authority in 2006, Rodgers served in various capacities at the City of San Diego, including managing large-scale Capital Improvement Projects. Rodgers holds a bachelors in civil engineering, a masters in business, and a doctorate in public administration. Rodgers is a registered civil engineer in California. She oversees the Imperial Irrigation District water transfer agreement, the All-American and Coachella Canal lining projects, associated environmental mitigation, including at the Salton Sea, as well as cooperative projects with the Colorado River Basin States and Mexico.
Originally from Pittsburgh, during football season you will see her with her Terrible Towel, cheering on the Steelers! And, she is delighted to be here in person to see everyone rather than just her co-worker of almost 17 months, mainly working from home during COVID -- her cat!
