Tershia d’Elgin is a social activist with deep Colorado roots and a special interest in water policy, water conservation, and the tension between agricultural and metropolitan claims on water. A San Diego–based writer and water resources consultant, she also oversees a working farm on the South Platte River in Colorado with her family.

Thank you to the Tattered Cover Book Store for a lovely talk and signing with Tershia d'Elgin, author of The Man Who Thought He Owned Water!
