Waterways lead

The Waterways Conference is a program that aggregates scientists, philosophers, politicians, artists, managers, etc. to make the public aware of water issues. This three day program, held from Tuesday March 13 to Thursday March 15, contains a slew of events giving the public insight to world-wide water issues such as: water-scarcity, quality of reserves, etc. The focus of this year's conference is river basins, specifically the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna basin. The conference contains debates, panel discussion, exhibits, and guest speakers, two of them being Natarajan Ishwaran and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. All sessions are free and open to the public, and will be a great source of information for those interested in this important issue.
