LOCAL SOURCE DEVELOPMENT • WATER REUSE • CONSERVATION • DESALINATION • AND MORE

Local source development promises greater reliability, water security and progressively more cost-effective sources of water. This summit will highlight success stories from across the globe, explore emerging water reuse strategies, and identify critical policy, communications and coalition-building questions for the region.

Who should attend:
The event will bring together thought leaders from water agencies, universities, the private sector, and non-profits to assess future strategies for further developing local water sources in Southern California.  Participants will engage in the latest technology, research, policy, and implementation strategies.

Program highlights:

• Current use of local water sources and why local sources will become more important in the future
• Promise and challenges of emerging technologies − including ocean desalination and indirect and direct potable reuse of wastewater and contaminated groundwater − as well as improvements in water conservation programs
• Lessons learned to communicate the social benefits of new technologies
• Forming public-private partnerships  to assist agencies in developing new water sources
