2007 Water Resources Conference

June 14-15 2007

Bridging the Gap Between Science, People, and Policies

"High quality water is more than the dream of the conservationists, more than a political slogan; high quality water, in the right quantity at the right place at the right time, is essential to health, recreation, and economic growth."

- Richard Bangs and Christian Kallen, Rivergods, 1985
