WATER FOR SEVEN GENERATIONS: Will California Squander or Protect It?
Thursday, Nov. 17 & Friday, Nov. 18 – Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Chico, CA
AquAlliance hosted its second, two-day conference on Thursday & Friday, November 17-18, 2016 to provide valuable scientific, legal, historical, political, and visionary information regarding California’s water. It will be held in the lovely concert hall at Sierra Nevada Brewing Company in Chico.
This conference built upon the success of our 2012 inaugural water conference with a broad spectrum of topics and speakers. The objective was to provide information about California water that is typically missing from public presentations by water districts, state political leaders, consultants, and water agencies. AquAlliance intends to beam some sunshine into this politically charged topic that affects us all.
Conference Sections:
Day One: Rivers & Streams | Day Two: Groundwater |
Science | Science |
Flow & Fish | Owens Valley |
Climate | Water Transfers |
Drought Panel | The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act |
