AMERICAN RIVER WATERSHED CONFERENCE in conjunction with the Local Government Commission PURPOSE OF CONFERENCE The American River watershed provides important resources to the economy, environment, and well being of the Sacramento region. Over the next several decades, the changes suggested by rapid growth and climate change will likely make it more difficult to maintain the health of the watershed while effectively meeting increased demands for flood control, water, recreation, and aquatic ecosystems. This year’s American River Watershed Conference will consider how water resources managers are addressing the challenges posed by climate change and what land use decision makers are doing to bring growth management policies into line with long-term watershed management needs. Toward this end, the conference sponsors are pleased to partner with the Local Government Commission in hosting a commission workshop on the Ahwahnee Water Principles that will run parallel with the sessions offered by the conference. In addition, the California Extreme Precipitation Symposium will hold its 13th Annual Conference on Friday April 13, 2007 in partnership with other sessions. Dates: April 12 – 13, 2007 Location:
