WestWater Forum: Investing in a Reliable Water Supply for California
California's water supplies are becoming increasingly unreliable due to climate change and aging infrastructure. Closing this gap will require large investments in water governance, infrastructure, and innovation — including emerging technologies such as water reuse and desalination.
This WestWater Forum brings together water sector experts and entrepreneurs to examine what it will take to provide a reliable water supply future for California. We'll discuss the governance frameworks, planning strategies, and emerging technologies shaping California's next water supply portfolio.
Join us for a networking reception before and after the panel, with time to connect with speakers, fellow attendees, and water industry colleagues.
