Time: 8:30 a.m. - noon (8:00 a.m. check-in and continental breakfast. Lunch

Participants in this workshop will leave with an understanding of the water-energy-greenhouse gas connection in California while learning about the variability of this relationship in different regions in the state. In addition, attendees will be able to develop synergies for joint programs among water and energy agencies. Our expert, Gary Klein, will also lead participants in a discussion of programs and policies that improve multiple parts of the water-energy-greenhouse gas connection.
Participants will be expected to bring to class basic information on the amount of water that is pumped, delivered (sold) and un-accounted for; waste water that is collected, treated and discharged; and the energy expended for doing each of these functions.
