The hot, dry summer has left
us with below normal rainfall, and many areas in the state find
themselves in drought-like conditions. In the Triangle,
rain totals are 7.5 inches below normal. We are not
experiencing 2007 conditions yet but discussions are increasingly
being focused on water supplies.
NC SPIN
will hold an NC Water Conference on October 12 at the Brownstone Hotel in
Raleigh. A group of knowledgeable water experts will
explain:
-
Who owns water?
-
Can anything be done about supply and demand?
-
How does water impact economic development?
-
What role should government play in water issues?
-
How can we finance water systems?
-
What are practical solutions to our issues?
Registration is
$60 and includes a continental breakfast, hot lunch and handouts.
