Topics
The new White House and Congress may make significant changes in the federal laws governing water. New and proposed federal laws in this area will be discussed, along with how those laws play out at the state level. The panelists each have deep knowledge of state and federal water law and policy, and represent unique perspectives from state government, academia, private practice, and public interest.
• How do interlocking state and federal laws govern our water and water-dependent wildlife?
• How will new and proposed federal laws impact water resources in California?
• What federalism issues arise from the coming changes in water law?
