Kristin M. Moore Water Rights Specialist

Kristin has a sound foundation in geology which she has demonstrated by teaching fundamentals to new geology students at BYUI as adjunct faculty. Prior to teaching, Kristin completed two part time stints with the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) in Idaho Falls during the latter phases of the Snake River Basin Adjudication (SRBA). Kristin whetted her appetite for water rights, but also honed her skills in Arcview, while she was with IDWR.

Since coming on board with RMEA in the summer of 2007, Kristin has been a quick study in mastering the conversion of water rights for ponds. Although a relatively new addition to the staff, Kristin demonstrates enthusiasm and a "can-do" attitude that has already made her an invaluable member of the water rights team at RMEA. If you need a pond transfer or GIS analysis and mapping, Kristin is your person.

Education: BS Geology, Brigham Young University Idaho 2004.
