Investing in our Water Future: A Focus on California
March 11 - 12, 2010
- Santa Barbara CA UNITED STATES
WestWater Research LLC
Location: Fess Parker's DoubleTree Resort | Santa Barbara, CA Water will continue to play an important role in California's economic growth and recovery. However, the state's ability to move forward with critical water supply development has been hindered by its current financial condition and increased water market regulation. As capital markets rebound, the water resources sector is an intriguing but largely unproven area for private investment. Please join WestWater Research and The Seminar Group as national leaders discuss the challenges and investment opportunities in water and ways that the Golden State could utilize private capital to move forward with much needed public water projects. This important two-day seminar will explore the following: * Water as an investment from a public and private equity perspective * The role of public-private partnerships in water development * What private investors look for in water infrastructure financing * The future of private capital in California’s water plan * Lessons learned from the 2009 California Drought Water Bank * The role and future of surface storage and groundwater banking in California * Balancing water demands on the Lower Colorado River This seminar has been approved for the following credits: * The State Bar of California [10.25 General CLE Credits] Please contact WestWater for information about obtaining course books and a DVD / CD of the conference if you are unable to attend.
