Christa McJunkin, Water Resource Specialist

After living in Ohio, upstate New York, Long Island and Southern California, Christa moved with her family from to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1988.  After graduating from Saguaro High School, she attended Northern Arizona University and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Environmental Science with an emphasis in Management in 1996.  An honors seminar about water in the west from both the scientific and policy viewpoints began Christa’s interest in hydrology and water regulation.  Christa spent nearly six years at the Arizona Department of Water Resources in the Office of Assured and Adequate Water Supply, eventually becoming the program’s manager.  While at ADWR, Christa attended Arizona State University and graduated with a Masters of Public Administration in 2000.  In 2003, Christa left ADWR to join the water resource section of Fluid Solutions.

While at Fluid Solutions Christa has spent much of her efforts at guiding clients through the intersections of State water laws dealing with quantity and quality.  Land and subdivision development clients have benefited from her specialized experience in Assured Water Supply issues.  Other projects include a water use mitigation study in support of an Biological Opinion and Environmental Impact Statement for Customs and Border Protection, evaluating system and well capacity for the Maricopa Water District, drafting a non-potable supply plan, gaining approval for effluent reuse and a State-wide investigation of acquirable water supplies for the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District.

Christa is married to John and they have two sons aged 8 and 2.  Christa enjoys reading, music and volunteering in her son’s classroom.  She is also the Treasurer for Cubs Scout Pack 984.
