EPA Event: Importance of Water to the United States Economy Symposium
EPA is conducting a study on the
importance
of water in the U.S. economy to better understand how water
contributes to the economic welfare of the nation and plays a critical
role in many sectors of the U.S. economy. On December 4, EPA and
American University will host a public symposium in Washington, D.C.
with speakers that represent a diverse array of industries including
agriculture, food and beverage production, manufacturing, recreation,
tourism and fishing. EPA will also release a draft report on the
importance of water to the U.S. economy. To register to attend the
symposium, click here.
Additionally, EPA held a workshop
on September 19, in Washington, D.C. to present the findings from
background papers and to engage a diverse mix of analysts and
decision-makers from different regions and sectors of the economy in a
discussion. Topics included challenges that private and public sector
decision-makers face in managing and using water resources, methods and
tools analysts use to generate information to support decision-making,
and gaps in information that would improve management and use of water
resources. Click here for materials from the workshop. For more information, contact John Powers (powers.john@epa.gov or 202-564-5776).
