Water, Wetlands, and Wildlife Conference
International Conference in Sacramento: Water, Wetlands, and Wildlife - Resolving Conflicts and Restoring Habitat
http://www.sws.org/
The conference theme was selected to represent the broad fields of wetland science and to focus on the worldwide demand for clean water and the role that wetlands can play in meeting that need. This is particularly important in arid climates like California, Arizona, Nevada, and the Pacific Islands where water demands often result in the diversion of water from natural areas affecting not only the functioning of wetlands, but also the wildlife associated with these areas. At the same time, wetlands are being designed to assist in recharging groundwater basins, treating wastewater and storm water, and purifying
drinking water. We hope that this theme will bring together hydrologists, biologists, and managers who are dealing with these problems. Local programs such as the Cal Fed projects, the South Bay Restoration Project, the Napa-Sonoma marsh restoration, the Salton Sea restoration project, and the many stream and wetland restoration projects around Lake Tahoe are examples that can serve as symposium topics for the conference.
RSVP Needed
