Congress on Charting a New Course for the Mississippi River
Watershed
Hosted by the Renewable and Natural Resources Foundation
(ASCE is a Member Organization), on December 3, 2019 at the
headquarters of the American Geophysical Union RNRF will host
a one-day conference on the Mississippi river watershed.
https://www.rnrf.org/2019cong/
The Mississippi River watershed routinely experiences severe
flooding events, causing damage to infrastructure, agriculture, the
economy, and the environment. Now, climate is exacerbating this
flooding, guaranteeing that the situation will only get worse. A
new, radical course needs to be charted.
2019 Congress speakers and delegates will discuss impacts of the new climate normal, reimagine management for
different sectors of the watershed, and examine the stubborn and long-standing impediments to sustainably
managing resources within the watershed.
