2007 Montana State University Water Conversation - August 21, 2007
10:00 am - Noon (Mountain Time)
This will be an abbreviated version of our 2005 "Water Summit." In our conversation we will:
- Review the water expertise we have at MSU and identify gaps
- Summarize the water curriculum
- Review recent research needs surveys, overview major water research initiatives at MSU and identify upcoming opportunities
- Discuss our water-related outreach - who currently does what, plus needs and opportunities.
There's a lot to talk about! Please plan to join MSU water faculty and administrators in room 108 of the Ag Bioscience Building for a rich discussion. The coffeepot will be on at 9:30. Don't hesitate to contact Gretchen Rupp with any ideas or questions beforehand.

2006 Northwest Water Policy and Law Symposium - September 18 - 20, 2006
Bozeman, Montana was the setting for vigorous deliberations on water policy issues that have become particularly pressing in the Northwestern states in recent years. The symposium was a two-day gathering to explore solutions in three areas that challenge decision-makers: surface-water/ground-water interaction, water infrastructure management, and conflicting land- and water-use laws. Meeting participants listened to case studies and problem statements from the experts, then developed recommendations for state and local policy-makers in the Inland Northwestern United States.
