International Water Resources: Challenges for the 21st Century

The availability of clean water and sanitation is closely related to human health and poverty. A billion people lack access to clean water; twice that many lack adequate sanitation. This conference addresses this global water crisis and challenges for the 21st century. The conference will include topics on water and human health in the developing world, water cooperation and conflict, availability of adequate water quality and quantity, privatization, a global perspective of natural contaminants in groundwater resources, low-cost remediation technologies, effects of global climate change, water security and sustainability, and mitigating the consequences of water resources hazards.
