Global Warming and Texas Water Conference
Friday, May 12, 2006

Description:
Environmental Defense is hosting a conference on 'Global Warming and Texas Water' at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin on Friday, May 12th. Texas water planners weigh population trends and projected water demands, but what about the elephant in the room? Global warming is leading to climate change around the world, and with our reliance on adequate fresh water for our people, our agriculture and our bays and estuaries, no state has more on the line than Texas. Please join the discussions as we hear from distinguished scientists on the potential impacts of global warming on our state's water resources and how water resource managers and planners can and in some instances are addressing them.

If you haven't signed up already, there is still time to register. The registration fee of $35 includes continental breakfast, lunch, and a comprehensive packet of information on global climate change.
