Symposium Theme: NALMS 2002: A New Frontier – Staking Our Claim in the Management of Our Water Resources

Symposium Mission:
We believe that the future health of our freshwater resources depends on high quality science, which in turn must be used to build sound public policy. Local public understanding and support are essential if successful projects are to be realized. We expect the outstanding level of information exchanged in workshops, seminars, technical sessions and exhibits, along with the partnerships developed during the Symposium will have a beneficial and long-lasting impact on the management of freshwater resources throughout the world.
