Green Technology -The Inaugural Global Water & Technology Forum
Abstract:
The Metropolitan Water District's inaugural Global Water & Technology Forum, taking place on May 20, will be attended by more than 800 scientists, researchers, students, inventors and investors from throughout the world.
Six moderated panel discussions on topics and perspectives ranging from a historical "Last Days of Water: Lessons from Prehistory" workshop to a future outlook with "Nanotechnology—The Wave of Future Jobs" will be presented by the event.
