Texas Water Symposium - 1/30

The population of Texas is expected to double in the next 50 years. Some parts of Texas are water-rich; others are water-poor. There is a great need for a water-literate public to make informed decisions. The second in a series of Texas Water Symposium co-sponsored by Schreiner University, Texas Tech University - Fredericksburg and Texas Public Radio will be held at the Llano River Field Station of Texas Tech University in Junction. The symposium's topic will be "Climate Change and Impacts on Floods, Weather and Drought in Texas: What Controversy?" moderated by Tom Arsuffi. Panelists will include Robert E. Mace, deputy executive administrator, water science and conservation, at the Texas Water Development Board; Todd Votteler, executive manager of governmental relations and policy for the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority and executive director emeritus of the Guadalupe-Blanco River Trust; and Katharine Hayhoe, research associate professor of atmospheric sciences at TTU in Lubbock and an expert reviewer for the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This event is free and open to the public. All of the water forums are taped and aired on Texas Public Radio. Call (830) 792-7405 for information.
