COLLEGE STATION - Population shifts, industrial developments, changes in water law and advances in technology have made each drop of water more precious than 25 years ago.
Texas A&M University’s Water Week 2005, set for Feb. 7-11 on the campus, brings researchers and policy leaders together to share ideas, highlight issues, and focus on water research.
“Forty water faculty members from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the Dwight Look College of Engineering and the College of Geosciences are involved in the program,” said Ronald Kaiser, one of the program organizers and a Texas A&M professor of water law and policy.
Included in the week’s topics are: water challenges and opportunities, the effects of climate change on water resources, restoration of the Everglades and damaged rivers, and international water concerns.
A student research poster contest will be part of the week’s activities. Entries are due Friday. Submission guidelines and further information about Water Week 2005 can be found at http://waterfaculty.tamu.edu.
