Water Industry Climate Change Research Needs Workshop

Abstract

As input to the expert panel in development of a Strategic Plan for the Climate Change Strategic Initiative, an expert workshop was held in Denver, Colorado, in January 2008. A background summary was adapted from the exploratory team report origintally prepared by WERF with technical support from Dr. Gordon McCurry of CDM, Inc. Published in 2008.

Originally funded in cooperation with WERF as project WERF1CW07.
