“Thank you to all of our 2008 Sponsors and Speakers for making the fifth annual Riverside County Water Symposium a tremendous success”

 


Water is our region’s most precious natural resource. As Riverside County continues to grow, delivering clean and reliable water becomes an ever increasing challenge. Our water supply is decreasing and our water consumption continues to increase, while we remain in a period of drought. Identifying challenges and developing solutions to our region’s water crisis takes the insight and abilities of water agencies, political leaders and community stakeholders.

Produced and coordinated by TMG Communications, Inc., the annual Riverside County Water Symposium has become the region’s premier water forum bringing together key political, business, community and water-agency leaders to explore solutions to the growing demands of our water supplies and infrastructure.
