October 8, 2024 | Seattle, WA

This year’s conference will focus on clean water in Washington, how water quality affects the designated and beneficial uses of water, and what we are doing to address those concerns.  Speakers will discuss the intersection between water quality and water quantity, and particularly how water quality concerns impact the security of the state’s drinking water supply.  Speakers will also discuss the most pressing water quality threats to aquatic species, as well as how degraded water quality impacts recreational uses of water.  The conference will bring together a group of speakers to discuss innovative solutions to water quality problems.

This year’s conference will feature more than 15 speakers from private practice, government, academia, industry, and other organizations.  AWRA-WA is thrilled to announce Professor Catherine O’Neill as the keynote speaker.  Professor O’Neill is a visiting research professor of law at Seattle University School of Law, and brings expertise in both the legal and technical aspects of protecting the state’s water quality and its beneficial uses.
