At age three, Eleanor Hasenbeck insisted on finishing an Ozark river float trip bobbing behind her parents’ canoe in a life jacket. She’s been interested in water ever since. Eleanor supports NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System as a communications specialist, sharing information, data, and tools to empower proactive drought management at all scales, from the front lawn to the federal government. After hours, Eleanor is a part-time law student interested in the intersections of water law and water resource science, particularly in building creative, collaborative solutions to keep water flowing for communities, agriculture, and habitats in Colorado and beyond.
