ACWA’s John P. Fraser Water Leaders Fellowship Awarded to Kaitlyn Chow by ACWA Staff May 5, 2022 News Releases SACRAMENTO – The Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) today presented its third annual John P. Fraser Water Leaders Fellowship to Yuba Water Agency Hydrologist Kaitlyn Chow. Chow monitors water conditions in the Yuba River watershed and provides hydrologic data to inform water operations and agricultural water management, as well as support technical models and more. Chow first developed an interest in making scientific information more accessible to stakeholders for decision-making while earning her master’s degree in watershed science with a concentration in coastal watershed applied science from California State University, Monterey Bay. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental science with an emphasis in geomorphology and a minor in Japanese from CSU Monterey Bay. The John P. Fraser Water Leaders Fellowship was created in 2019 to honor former ACWA Executive Director John P. Fraser for his 22 years of service to the association and his numerous contributions to the water community, including creating the non-profit organization that would become the Water Education Foundation. The fellowship is presented each year to an individual working at an ACWA member agency who has been selected to participate in the Water Education Foundation’s annual William R. Gianelli Water Leaders Class. For more information about ACWA’s awards programs, please visit www.acwa.com/about/awards.
