Register now for ACWA’s Virtual CLE Workshops on September 30 and November 10

This popular annual virtual workshop offers continuing legal education for water professionals and updates water leaders on the hottest water industry trends. Participants will have the option to register to attend each session separately, or save by registering to attend both sessions.

These programs have been developed with water agency directors and staff in mind, as well as agency legal staff and firms. Whether you are a director, general manager, staff, or legal representative, the value you will gain from these programs will be of great benefit to the water agency you represent.


California State Bar MCLE credits will be offered for attending each of these sessions (in-person OR on-demand).
Whether you are new to California water law or looking for a refresher, these sessions will explore the basics of water rights, the regulatory framework, and the practical issues that arise in managing and protecting these valuable resources.
