Jim Thebaut, friend and filmmaker extraordinaire,and the man behind the Running Dry Project, is organizing a National Water Policy Event in Washington, DC, on 28 July 2009, 5:30 – 9:30 PM, U.S. Capitol Visitor Center Auditorium.
The event will bring together the executive and legislative branches of the USA government with other stakeholders – private citizens, industry, Native Americans, et al. - to have a dialogue on the implementation of national comprehensive, integrated, water policy.
Quite an ambitious goal!
There will be a reception, guest speakers, a screening of The American Southwest: Are We Running Dry?, and a panel discussion. Check out the WWW site for more information. RSVP by 21 July 2009.
AWRA is one of the sponsors.
This’ll be good. I look forward to seeing you there. Perhaps we can finish the work started over 40 years ago by the U.S. National Water Commission.
“The Commission transmits its final report to you with the earnest hope that it will contribute importantly to the timely and wise solution of America’s water resources problems.” – U.S. National Water Commission, 14 June 1973, final sentence of the letter of transmittal of the Commission’s final report to the President and Congress
