Lake Winnipeg Basin Summit (November 2010)

The state of Lake Winnipeg, sustainable and integrated water resources management in the Lake Winnipeg Basin, and new approaches to addressing Lake Winnipeg's pressing challenges will be featured at the Lake Winnipeg Basin Summit in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in November 2010.

The Summit marks the fifth anniversary of the Prairie Water Policy Symposium (PWPS) hosted by IISD in Winnipeg in September 2005, when over 100 scientists, policy-makers and researchers gathered to discuss water management challenges and solutions.

IISD acted on the key insights from the 2005 symposium, and has developed a new vision for Prairie water management that integrates cutting-edge approaches from around the world. Look for more information on Lake Winnipeg Basin Summit in the coming months.
