Intern Project Description:

Most of the work for this position will be with Denver Water's climate
change adaption program within the Water Resource Planning section. The
climate change adaptation program works to prepare Denver Water for the
cascading impacts of a changing climate. The program is part of the Water
Resource Planning section, which maintains a long-term vision for providing
a reliable water supply to 1.4 million people.

The intern will assist in developing a monthly climate tracking report for
internal and external stakeholders. The report will provide summary
visualizations of long-term and short-term weather and climate data
collected throughout Denver Water's collection system and service area. This
will assist the organization in better understanding the current state - as
well as notable changes and impacts - of the climate throughout Denver
Water's systems. Ultimately, this information will help guide monthly water
operations and long-term organizational planning.

To initiate this work, the intern will conduct a comprehensive search to
gather and centralize all relevant data for the project (including data
collected by Denver Water and any other non-profit, local, state, or federal
institution).

The ideal candidate will have strong data analysis/visualization abilities,
as well as strong communication and collaboration skills. Proficiency in
Python or R is strongly encouraged.

The intern will have additional opportunities to contribute to other water
resource planning projects and meetings, leading to a general knowledge of
how Denver's water operations fit together with regional water dynamics. One
such opportunity will be to participate in field work efforts to maintain a
stream temperature monitoring network. Additionally, the intern will be
required to attend three intern events as part of Denver Water's overall
internship program. Toward the end of the summer, the intern will present
their work to a broad Denver Water audience.

Preferred Skills/Competencies

*	Data analysis visualization
*	Proficiency in Python or R
*	Knowledge of local climate and hydrology dynamics
*	Strong communication and interpersonal skills
*	Analytical and conceptual thinking
