9th Annual Great Lakes Water Conference

Historically, water law has been the province of lawyers and policymakers in the arid western United States. In recent years, however, lawmakers in the Great Lakes region have come to recognize the critical role that water management plays in securing a healthy and vibrant society over the long term. In recognition of this development, the University of Toledo College of Law and its LIGL sponsors annual conferences each fall on water issues of importance to the Great Lakes region and the nation.

The University of Toledo College of Law and its affiliated Legal Institute of the Great Lakes will hold the Ninth Annual Great Lakes Water Conference on Friday, November 13, 2009 at the University of Toledo College of Law.

U.S. Congressman Bart Stupak of Michigan and Cameron Davis, Senior Advisor to the USEPA Administrator, will be the keynote speakers. Three panels will discuss Stimulating and Restoring the Great Lakes, The Reach of the Clean Water Act, and The Compact in Action.
