2009 (Presenter Mark Smith, Director of the Eastern U.S. Freshwater Program for The Nature Conservancy (TNC)) - This presentation will review examples of how protection of freshwater resources and their associated biodiversity are being integrated into state and national water management frameworks. By examining several examples from across the United States and around the world the presentation will outline the similarities and differences among the approaches used in water management policies and describe some of the most effective examples that explicitly link the goals of providing water to meet human needs with the goals of protecting freshwater resources. The presentation will describe how new tools and improved science is informing the development of these policies and programs and offering solutions that previously were impractical.
This lecture was recorded at "Water Scarcity and Conflict," the Elizabeth Babbott Conant Interdisciplinary Conference on the Environment at Connecticut College on April 3 and 4, 2009.
