The Water Report History
The Water Report has been in publication since 2004 and is considered by many to be the publication of record for water in the West. In 2022, founders of The Water Report David Light and David Moon decided to retire. I was a loyal customer of the publication for over a decade while working at water utilities in Arizona. When I saw their announcement, I was inspired to continue the legacy of spreading critically important water knowledge
My name is Shaina Shay and I have spent more than a decade developing expertise in water policy and management, conservation, and community outreach. My passion for sharing pragmatic information has been a theme throughout my career. Having worked in public, private, and not-for-profit sectors I have learned that a broad range of expertise, public policy, regulation, and management is needed for success.
You can learn more about the history of The Water Report and this transition in an interview I did with the founders.
