World Environmental and Water Resources Congress

22-26 May, Palm Springs, CA, USA

The American Society of Civil Engineers’ Environmental and Water Resources Institute invites interested experts to the 2011 World Environmental and Water Resources Congress, to be held on 22-26 May 2011. The World Environmental and Water Resources Congress is an important opportunity for professionals in the environmental and water fields to convene and focus on topics of the day. This year’s technical program focuses on “Bearing Knowledge for Sustainability”. It is important that the environmental and engineering community integrate sustainability, in dealing with today’s issues whether they be technical, economic, social, environmental or political. To that end a number of symposia are being offered including:

• •

  Arid Lands Symposium.

• •

  Climate Change Symposium.

• •

  Sustainability Symposium.

• •

  6th World Water Forum Symposium: North American Regional Event.

The congress will also feature our traditional technical tracks such as urban water resources, dam safety, watershed management, systems engineering, water and wastewater engineering, international issues and projects and a strong local program focused on southwest environmental water issues such as the restoration of the Salton Sea, the Bay Delta Program, and state-of-the-art infrastructure projects.
