Fall 2007 Symposium
October 31, 2007, University of Maryland, College Park
Global climate change, swelling populations, and increasing technological advances all continue to affect water availability, distribution, and quality. The future will bring many new challenges and may exacerbate existing challenges that have not been met. As we look back over the past 25 years, our water knowledge and water management technologies are much more advanced. Our problems, however, are not solved. Within this one-day symposium, we dare to look to the future to anticipate upcoming water resources challenges globally, and with a specific focus to Maryland.
