1^st Water Quality, Drought, Human Health & Engineering Conference

Mark your calendars and plan to join us in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Desert Research Institute from October 18-20, 2006 for our 1st Water Quality, Drought, Human Health & Engineering Conference. This unique 2 ½ -day forum will address issues regarding water quantity, quality, drought, human health & engineering. In addition, new advances in remediation technology will be discussed, along with policies regarding regulation and legislation.

The purpose of the conference is to provide a solutions-based forum and to exchange information regarding activities and plans for improving the quantity and quality of water, the impact on human health and engineering, and current policies from state and federal agencies. Attendees will include scientists and engineers, managers, legislators, and policy makers responsible for issues dealing with water. It is the intent of this conference to bring forward the concerns and impending problems(and offer solutions) that are developing with regards to the availability and quality of water, and the consequences to human health, not only in the southwest US, but also nationally and internationally.

A series of keynote talks will be given by invited experts, followed with panel discussions aimed at developing possible scenarios for solutions to many of these major water issues.
