WRRC 2011 Annual Conference
Salinity and Desalination in the Southwest: Challenges and Solutions

Tues/Wed, April 26-27, 2011
Pivot Point Conference Center/Hilton Garden Inn
Yuma, Arizona

Desalination of poor quality inland waters and coastal sea water offers a
vision of endless fresh, clean water to augment limited supplies for the
Southwest. But is it really the answer? What are the benefits and costs of
desalination, and what are the opportunities and barriers?

The conference will explore the role of desal­ination in expanding water
supplies and will provide an overview of the current status of desalination
pol­icy, operations, technology, costs, energy needs, and environmen­tal
issues. The current test run of the Yuma Desalting Plant will be a focus of
discussion by U.S. Bureau of Reclamation officials and a policy level panel
including David Modeer, General Manager of the Central Arizona Project.
Deputy Commissioner Kira Finkler of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Abraham
Tenne, Director of Desalination for the Israel Water Authority and Mario
López Pérez of Gerencia de Ingeniería Básica y Normas Técnicas will give
keynote talks.

Following the conference, attendees will have an opportunity to tour the
Yuma Desalting Plant, one of the world’s largest reverse osmosis
desalina­tion plants!

A draft agenda, fee schedule and registration form will be available January
26, 2011.
