Welcome from University of Florida President Bernie Machen Faculty, students and special guests: I am delighted to welcome you to the University of Florida Water Institute Symposium. This is the Water Institute’s first major conference, and it couldn’t be more timely. Statewide and across the country, maintaining adequate supplies of freshwater now ranks as one of the nation’s foremost public policy concerns. From west to east, the urgency is obvious in the dwindling reserves of Lake Powell, the shrinking Lake Lanier and the record low levels in Lake Okeechobee — not to mention the abnormally dry or drought conditions confronting much of the rest of the U.S. Only the cooperative efforts of the broadest range of scientists and scholars will allow us to address these challenges. UF faculty conceived the Water Institute to nurture and support this interdisciplinary approach, and organizers have carried that mission forward in this symposium, which includes faculty from throughout the academy. Recognizing that the problems confronting water resources cross all political, disciplinary and professional lines, we are also pleased to have so many participants from business, nonprofits and the public sector. Thank you for joining us for what promises to be a rich and fruitful symposium. Sincerely, Bernie Machen President, University of Florida Welcome from UF Water Institute Director Wendy Graham Dear Colleagues, Thank you for joining us for the inaugural UF Water Institute Symposium. We are pleased by the enthusiastic response to this event. It is the goal of this symposium to bring together professionals, students and the public to examine the challenges of water resources sustainability. During the next two days we will explore the latest developments in science, technology, policy and education that may provide solutions to these challenges. We value your contributions to the discussions and encourage your active participation. Using ideas generated at the symposium, we will develop broad-based recommendations for interdisciplinary research and education programs needed to ensure water resources sustainability for Florida and beyond. We at the UF Water Institute believe that the best solutions to Florida’s water resource issues will be found at the cutting edge intersection of hard science, social science and public policy. Solutions developed in Florida will provide a model for others managing similar water issues throughout the United States and around the world. The UF Water Institute faculty looks forward to partnering with water professionals statewide to make this happen. Thanks again for participating in the UF Water Institute’s first Symposium. Sincerely, Wendy Graham Director, University of Florida Water Institute 3
