The annual conference, which is geared toward water professionals throughout Nevada, takes a multi-disciplinary approach to discuss current and ongoing water issues. The goal of the conference is to provide water managers, policy makers, environmental representatives, federal and state agencies, private consultants, and the general public with a more comprehensive understanding of these issues.
