Water Solutions: Innovations in Water Management

The Northwest Environmental Business Council presents a conference about innovative approaches that can change how we manage water resources in the Northwest. 

Providing an adequate supply of water to a growing population, while meeting the needs of the natural environment, is one of the most complex challenges we face as a society – especially with the prospect of climate-induced changes to historical supply patterns. However, the components of this challenge tend to be addressed in relative isolation

This conference takes a different approach and is designed to share creative solutions and innovative ideas about water resources across sectors and disciplines.
