Water Supply & Resources
Speakers cover water resources protection, restoration
and conservation, including ocean, lake, river, watershed, aquifer,
wetland, coral reef, estuary, delta, fishery, coastal, and beach
protection and restoration. Speakers also cover issues including
water quality, potable water supply, water pollution prevention,
stormwater management, nonpoint source water pollution, wastewater
treatment, water recycling, dam removal, and marine mammal protection.
Ocean Protection & Restoration. Oceans are threatened
by toxic pollution, nutrient pollution, plastics, overfishing,
global warming, loss of coastal wetlands, invasive species,
and more. If the damage to ocean ecosystems isn't allowed to
go too far, protective programs can sometimes lead to restoration
of ocean ecosystems and fisheries. See Rob
Caughlan, Pete
McCloskey, Ross Klein,
Richard Roshon,
Chris Maser, Dune
Lankard, Roger
Ballentine, Kate
Troll, and Wil Burns.
River & Lake Protection & Restoration. Rivers
and freshwater lakes can be threatened by urban and industrial
wastewater discharges, excessive diversion for human use, dams
and reservoirs, urban development, riparian and lakeshore development,
wetland loss, forestry operations, agricultural runoff and related
soil erosion, and more. See Tim
Palmer, Mark Dubois,
Max Finkelstein,
Peter Lavigne,
Jacques Leslie,
Rob Caughlan,
Chris Maser, Rusty
Johnson, and Jerry
Meral.
Water Quality. The quality of the potable water supply
involves protecting aquifers, watersheds, and reservoirs from
toxic pollution, excessive nutrient runoff, and other threats
to the safety and healthfulness of the water supply. See Mark
Van Putten, Jeffrey
Burke, Ted Smith,
Peter Bronski,
and Tom Barron.
Water Supply & Conservation. Fresh water is in short
supply worldwide, and everything from food production to stream
and coastal conservation is suffering as a result. See Lester
Brown, Mark Van
Putten, Jacques
Leslie, L. Hunter
Lovins, Kim Carlson,
and Peter Bronski.
