Rick Soehren joined the Ofce of Water Use

Efciency and Transfers in October 2007. No

stranger to water use efciency, Rick began his

water career with DWRs Ofce of Water Con-

servation in 1980. After many years in the old

OWC, a stint with CALFED, a sabbatical, anda few years as DWRs Water Policy Advisor,

Rick is back where his water career started.
