cityLive! Water we see & Water we use

New Hazlett Theater, North Side
RSVP
Southwestern Pennsylvania residents live in a region defined by its rivers. This region has plentiful water supplies —- a tremendous economic and quality of life asset -— but significant water quality challenges. Pittsburgh was selected as the North American host city by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) for World Environment Day 2010. The region hosted the World Environment Day global water conference, "Water Matters!", on June 3. Participants from across the country spoke to the problems and possibilities of water in southwestern PA -– its impact on health, energy and the economy. The June 29 cityLIVE! event will reflect upon the results of the conference, discuss what was learned and how to protect and embrace the region's most valuable resource – water.
Our panelists are Jeanne VanBriesen, director of the Center for Water Quality in Urban Environmental Systems at CMU, Janie French, director of Green Infrastructure Programs at the Pennsylvania Environmental Council and John Schombert, executive director of 3 Rivers Wet Weather. Moderating is Pittsburgh City Councilman, Patrick Dowd.
Special thanks to Sustainable Pittsburgh for providing this post.
