Drought Symposium 15  DroughtSymposium15
 
This December 2-3, CalCoast™ and its allies in government, academia, and the private sector (including Strategic Advocacy Partners) will hold "Drought Symposium 15" at the offices of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) in Costa Mesa, CA

The drought, which is entering its fourth year, and the myriad of problems the drought is causing, are dominating the news. The symposium will focus on drought solutions and innovative measures that are being taken to combat the drought.

We are fortunate to have a strong program.
