CSN to Hold Conference on Desalination
Experts on water security and water conservation will come together to explore solutions
LAS VEGAS, April 6, 2016 – The College of Southern Nevada and a panel of water resources specialists, concerned citizens, scientists, and public officials will hold a conference on desalination April 23 to discuss key water issues facing Nevada today.
Invited conference panelists include water resources experts from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the College of Southern Nevada, the Integral Scientific Institute of Dallas, Texas, and others.
“We are very excited about the level of enthusiasm we have received from invited speakers and prospective attendees for the conference,” said Saïd Majdi, co-founder and president of ISI, a non-profit think tank focused on sustainable living. “We look forward to bringing together the many Nevadans who are interested in water security for a substantive discussion of real-world solutions to crucial water issues facing Nevada today.”
The Integral Scientific Institute is developing a unique, coherent paradigm of study and action focusing on interrelationships between water resources, food production, energy security, transportation efficiency, and climate policy. Achieving an integral understanding of the water-food-energy-transportation-climate nexus is crucial if we are to take responsible actions toward making our social and economic activities compatible with having a sustainable natural environment.
The event is sponsored by the College of Southern Nevada Environmental Strategies Committee and the Integral Scientific Institute.
