Water and land use are explicitly linked through a complex myriad of quantity- and quality-related issues. Historically, development planning and implementation occurred which sought to minimize impacts on water resources. In the world today, water scarcities due to economic growth, ecosystem demands, and climate change are forcing a new paradigm in planning and management. The goal of sustainable development is creating opportunities for creative solutions that look beyond project borders to encompass more holistic watershed approaches. This conference will bring together a unique mix of keynote speakers, panels, posters, and speakers to highlight regional solutions and research being conducted to improve the societal impacts on future expansions.
OEC's Clean and Healthy Rivers Program Director, Teresa Huntsinger, will be speaking on Friday November 6th at 11:00am on Stormwater Solutions for Oregon Communities. For complete details on the program and registration information please see: http://www.capps.wsu.edu/waterland/default.aspx
