“In Between Water and Fire” Completes Watershed Film Series
About 200 people joined SJWCD for the premiere of “In Between Water and Fire” on Tuesday evening, May 20. The location for the film viewing and networking was the Pagosa Lodge.
“In Between Water and Fire” is the third film in the SJWCD series – “This Is Your Watershed: Upper San Juan River.” The film can be viewed from SJWCD website’s homepage.
The first two videos premiered in 2024 to significant local acclaim and community support. Both “The Value of Snow” and “The Waterways that Connect Us” can be viewed on the SJWCD website.
In 2024, San Juan Water Conservancy District received funding from Colorado Water Conservation Board, through Southwest Basin Roundtable, to produce three short videos. The purpose of the videos was to educate the general public about the Upper San Juan River watershed. Professional film-maker, Christi Bode of Moxiecran Media, produced all three films.
