Themed “Innovations in Watershed Management Under Land Use and Climate Change,” this conference will highlight innovative approaches for managing water resources under climate and land use change. Relevant topics include hydrologic measurement and modeling, integrated and/or adaptive water management, aquatic ecosystem restoration, risk-based design, and the use of regional predictions of climate change.
»The Sierra is a foundation of California and Nevada’s prosperity – supplying clean water, energy, and recreational refuge to millions. In the face of a growing population, changing climate, and degrading natural resources the Sierra Nevada will need to be resilient. We will need to adapt to changes we cannot predict and adopt smarter policies and programs than our past. A key to our resiliency will be strong local partnerships so we may tackle challenges together as communities. Innovative and fun strategies, cost-effective new approaches and a commitment to stewardship can help us protect our most precious region – the Sierra. So please join us for two days of inspiring speakers, informative workshops, fun field trips, and terrific networking as we work to keep the Sierra resilient.
