This one-day forum, a facilitated charrette, was organized and sponsored by the Texas Water Development Board and National Science Foundation Research Coordination Network on Climate, Energy, Environment and Engagement in Semiarid Regions (RCN-CE3SAR). The RCN-CE3SAR was the forum facilitator. The forum was hosted by Texas A&M University–San Antonio (A&M-SA) with arrangements coordinated by the Institute for Water Resources Science and Technology at A&M-SA. The forum brought together Texans from diverse technical, academic, research, management, and business backgrounds in water to participate in the third in a series of water roadmaps facilitated by RCN-CE3SAR. Ali Fares, Interim Associate Director of Research and Professor of Water Security was one of the invited participants at this event.
The main goal of the Forum was to prioritize and frame key milestones with the overall objective of securing that future. To achieve this goal, the Forum brought together individuals from diverse backgrounds in water. These are individuals who are interested in securing Texas’ water future, while accelerating growth of Texas’ water infrastructure, technologies, industries, and sustainable water use. They represent Texas’ leading water sectors, including water associations and other non-governmental organizations, research institutes and universities, public agencies, industry, and water utilities, districts, and authorities.
