UBC Professor to speak in Naramata

Naramata has experienced it's own fair share of water woes in the past. The Naramata Conservation Initiative will be hosting an informative presentation entitled Adapting to Change - Improving Water Management in the Okanagan.

Water management is a major issue in Naramata and other Okanagan communities. Population growth, land use intensification and climate change are increasingly putting pressure on the water resources. To continue to do business as usual will put us on a collision course. Adaptation is the key and this involves conservation, source water protection, and improving the efficiency on how we use water in the urban and rural environments.
Hans Schreier is a professor at the Institute for Resources and Environment, at the University of British Columbia. He has won international awards for his work in water management and he will be giving a presention outlining not only the problems, but also providing practical ideas on what can be done to minimize the urban impact by innovative storm water management, reducing impervious surfaces and effectivewater conservation.

Where & When: Monday, December 11, at 7.00 pm, at the Loft
Naramata Centre (3rd Street)._
