The conference provided an opportunity for academic and industry researchers to discuss the environmental and health effects of agricultural chemicals in water supplies, and also served as a forum for discussion of state water quality policies and programs. In the months following the conference, cooperative efforts on addressing water quality problems have been initiated, including proposed collaborative studies and educational programs, discussions on the immediate public health importance of water quality research, and discussion of concerns regarding the public's access to information on water quality issues and research results.
Conference proceedings are available upon request.
