Speaking of Water Series
Speaking of Water (Water UCI’s Colloquium Series) has, for five years, brought together leading experts in the worlds of water science, economics and policy for vibrant discussions and dialogue on critical topics to help educate the public and stimulate action towards solutions.
As multiple water crises continue to grow in severity throughout the West, Water UCI serves as a critical facilitator of research, education and sustainable water policy in the ongoing effort to provide access to safe and secure water for all.
