MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL POSTERS

摘要

Drought-related impacts can be expected to increase in intensity in the twenty-first century as human population increases and land uses change. To evaluate current drought-related problems and anticipate future issues, GSA and its partners announce a participatory conference to be held 18-20 September 2006 near Boulder, Colorado, USA. While broad in scope, the meeting will focus oil identifying successful strategies for drought and water scarcity management and on developing a clear and decisive action plan. The goals of this meeting are to create an integrated, interactive, future-oriented forum for understanding and improving our management of drought and water scarcity in the United States and to stimulate national debate through the publication and wide distribution of a science- and policy-based discussion document.
