Program
The Conference Committee has assembled a Program we feel will appeal to a broad spectrum of individuals concerned with water resources. The call for abstracts has produced a variety of interesting and relevant topics including: water for energy, water resources availability and management, and climate conditions.
The conference includes:
Keynote addresses by: Takashi Asano (world-renowned authority in water recycling and reuse), Jennifer Orme-Zavaleta (Interim National Program Director for Safe and Sustainable Water Resources Program, EPA), and Gary Gill (Deputy Director for the Environment, Hawaii Department of Health).
Technical program with over 50 oral presentations, 2 panel discussions, and a poster session.
An international selection of presenters from Australia, France, India, Spain, Taiwan, Trinidad, and more. Speakers from the Trust Territories will also be presenting along with those from the United States.
POSTER PRESENTERS (November 1, 2011 update)Due to the number of presentations, the size of the poster has been revised to
30 inches wide x 42 inches high. Please make the size adjustments accordingly.
