DEMISE OF WATER SPARKS ACTION AT WATERWAYS CONFERENCE
The Free Conference Raises Awareness and Encourages Non-Traditional Boundary Crossing
DENTON, TX -- A multitude of professions, from philosophers to scientists, will gather at the University of North Texas to celebrate the free of charge, bi-annual WaterWays Conference lasting from March 13th until March 15th. Significant guest speakers, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Natarajan Ishwaran, will address the problem of diminishing water resources.
The University of North Texas has the privilege of continuing to host the bi-annual WaterWays Conference this year, in accordance with the Philosophy of Water Project, which continues to bring enlightenment to all attendees concerning the detrimental adversities influencing our environment, specifically our limited H2O. This will be the second Conference of this type on March 13th through 15th and two of our impressive speakers this year include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of the Riverkeeper Organization and Natarajan Ishwaran of UNESCO.
Established author and environmental activist, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also currently co-hosts the hit radio show, Ring of Fire, as well as actively participated in the Riverkeeper organization since 1984. Natarajan Ishwaran makes his contribution and has achieved an honored place as a speaker in this year’s conference by publishing multiple relevant papers and articles and also by actively contributing to UNESCO since 1986. These conferences are not only intended for scientists but for philosophers, politicians, artists and more, the goal being to meld together across long known divisional boundaries and unite for the cause.
The anticipated March 2007 Conference plans to bring together a variety of groups in order to spotlight their primary focal point; water basin issues, specifically the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) basin. Afore mentioned water basins are crucial to Indian resources and a plethora of hazards face the Indians’ way of life if the climate change is not controlled. Lack of action and conservation will most likely result in floods, droughts as well as a lack of water for irrigation. Only a limited amount of water exists on this planet and with the nurturing care of preservation and diligence we will be able to control this appalling conflict thus preserving our damaged environment as well as ourselves.
