cutting-edge products, services, and policies available to help
Californians conserve and wisely manage our most abused and most critical
natural resource. In addition to products and services, the showcase will
highlight creative conservation ideas and problem solving with lectures and
a panel discussion by industry leaders addressing regional water issues.
