Carddock to oversee Butte County water issues
Copyright © 1999. All rights reserved.
Ed Craddock, who has been the Chief of the California State Department of Water Resources' Water Conservation Office (now Water Use Efficiency Office) since 1995, has accepted a new job as the first director of Butte County's new Department of Water and Resource Conservation. Craddock started his new job on 23 August 1999.
Craddock, who joined DWR's Water Conservation Office in 1980, served in various capacities. As supervisor of the Agricultural Water Conservation and Planning Programs from 1980 to 1989, he was instrumental in establishing the California Irrigation Management Information System (CIMIS). During his tenure, he was involved in many irrigation related programs including urban and agricultural water management planning, mobile irrigation laboratories, agricultural irrigation system training courses, and assistance for loan and grant proposals for irrigation improvements.
He left the Water Conservation Office in 1989 to become Chief of DWR's Land and Water Use Section. As chief, he led the data gathering and analyses for estimation and forecasting urban and agricultural water demands for Bulletin 160-93: California Water Plan Update.
Craddock resumed close involvement with the CIMIS program when he returned to become Chief of the Water Conservation Office in 1995. His vision, wisdom, and support will certainly be missed.
