Event Description:
Grand Californian Hotel, at the Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, California
California's $1.9 trillion economy is at risk. We are in the midst of one of the driest periods on record and in addition, pumping restrictions are still in place - limiting the amount of water we can move throughout the state to keep our economy growing. Business, agriculture, urban populations and the environment are all dependent on reliable water supplies.
Southern California is weathering these conditions better than other regions because of the billions of dollars invested in local water reliability projects. Yesterday's investments are paying off and now we need to make additional investments to ensure water reliability tomorrow. Join us for the 7th Annual Orange County Water Summit on Friday, May 16, 2014 where leading water experts and policy makers will discuss their plans to secure California's water future.
INDIVIDUAL TICKET - $120*
*TICKET PRICE WILL INCREASE TO $140 BEGINNING MAY 6
Ticket includes continental breakfast, lunch, self-parking and summit materials.
