Details
The event is free and open to the public. The "energy-water nexus" refers to the interdependence of producing water and energy. Energy requires large volumes of water while water treatment and distribution depends on readily available, low-cost energy.
The roundtable will focus on water issues specific to the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders, including stakeholder-driven solutions for water policies and technologies.
Panelists include researchers and natural resource managers in all three countries.
Preregistration is still open online. For the full program and to register, .
The Roundtable is co-sponsored by UNLV, Desert Research Institute and the Canadian Consulate of Los Angeles.
