Jane S. McKimmon Center, Raleigh, NC

Join us for the 15th Annual WRRI Conference, the premier research conference focusing on North Carolina's Water Resource Issues, Solutions, and Opportunities. The North Carolina Water Resources Association (NCWRA) will again be a key partner, with the NCWRA Annual Symposium being an integral element of the conference program. This year, the symposium will address nutrient credit trading and explore the barriers and opportunities for such a program in NC. The conference will conclude with the Progress Energy Seminar, "Water, Energy, Security: Colliding Imperatives", which will also be open to the public free of charge.

This event is held in conjunction with the NC Water Resources Research Institute Annual Conference. Register at the WRRI website: NC WRRI Annual Conference
