Many fear the planet's growing population may one day drain the world's freshwater supplies. The symposium will run Sunday and Monday, Sept. 19 and 20, in the SIUC Student Center Auditorium. Nations go to war over oil, but there are substitutes for oil. The institute is teaming up with the SIUC-based International Water Resources Association, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and DuPont Foundation to sponsor the conference.
Meals are extra.
4 p.m. Welcome by Paul Simon, director of the Public Policy Institute, and Benedito Braga, president of the International Water Resources Association.
