On Mar. 31, Taft attorney Hannah Mink spoke on the panel “Where Climate, Agriculture, and the Colorado River Converge” during Colorado Climate Week.

The panel explored how water availability, climate change, and agricultural viability intersect in Colorado, with a focus on the Colorado River Basin. Panelists discussed the policy and on-the-ground implications of ongoing Colorado River negotiations and highlighted emerging technologies that improve water efficiency, monitoring, and allocation for farmers and food producers across the region.

Mink works in Taft’s Environmental Practice group, focusing on the complex legal requirements surrounding water and natural resource use. She advises a range of public and private clients throughout the Colorado River Basin and collaborates on policy initiatives aimed at improving local and basin-wide water resource management.
