The 27th Annual Water Law Conference intends to focus lawyers’ attention upon important aspects and consequences of scarcity, of public money and of water, from a groundwater perspective. Whether driven by global population growth, climatic change, decaying or antiquated infrastructure, or resource nationalism, there is growing recognition of the implications of scarce water. Emerging responses to this scarcity are tending to polarize into camps focused upon commoditization of water as opposed to communal rights which emphasize control rights of local communities. The conference seeks to acquaint all participants with opportunities and offer an opening dialogue as to a way forward.
