Conference Organizers: Jonathan S. Clyde, James Culliton, Tom Dimitre, Sarah Hunt Vasche

Synopsis:

A conference about the human right to water. This three-day event will tackle two critical questions: How Western water law and policy deals with the human right to water; and if, in the face of increasing water scarcity, we should change our laws to assure clean water for everyone. Through this effort, we hope to develop a better understanding of the challenge facing the Western U.S. and share lessons with a world that must conquer the challenge of providing clean water for all.
