The Water Issues Working Group is an effort led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with 澳门六合彩开奖预测 to raise awareness of the concept that water is an investment, not a cost. The group is launching an initiative to demonstrate the value of water to our economy through targeted regional events across the country that address the full range of water cycle issues.
Through wide-ranging dialogues in local communities there will be an opportunity for audiences and stakeholders to discuss regional needs and for participants to explore a full spectrum of governmental and private sector policy and funding solutions.
