Our March 9 Water Forum at the historic Pearl Stable is almost here. In addition to the 11:30am to 1:30pm program that is being recorded for prime time television and radio broadcast, the San Antonio Water System, Edwards Aquifer Authority, and the San Antonio River Authority will provide displays and informational material in the foyer from 10:30am to 2:00pm.

We are pleased that almost the entire Texas House Committee on Natural Resources will attend our program with many of their staff members. The House Committee will then hold hearings beginning at 2pm in the San Antonio City Council Chambers.

We are told that this will be the largest audience to attend a luncheon program in the history of the renovated Pearl Stable. (Unfortunately we have had to turn away almost 70 individuals.)

Please plan to arrive as early as possible – no later than 11:00am, to be seated by 11:15am, as the program will begin promptly at 11:30am.

Thanks to all for your support of this critically important Forum.

Synopsis:

The San Antonio Clean Technology Forum, formed in 2008 to promote progressive energy and sustainability policies in the city and region, is hosting a major luncheon forum on:

Water and Our Shared Future:
A Local, Regional and State Report

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro will open the forum by addressing the importance of long-term planning and conservation to secure our future water supply and the need to achieve a regional solution. He then will introduce special guest and Speaker of the Texas House, Joe Straus. The Speaker will focus on the role of the Texas Legislature in addressing often-contentious state and regional water issues

The Clean Technology Forum event will be held in conjunction with public hearings (that same morning and/or afternoon) at City Council chambers of the Texas House Interim Committee on Natural Resources chaired by state Rep. Allan Ritter, R-Nederland.

Previous SA Clean Technology forums on critical energy and resource issues have generated extensive press coverage and quickly sold out.

The San Antonio Clean Technology Forum is one of the fastest growing, non-profit civic organizations in South Texas. For membership information, please visit www.sacleantech.org/apply.

In summary, this program is being developed to present a number of critically important regional water supply issues that are not well known and understood in our community. There are few issues more important to San Antonio’s future than that of the supply and management of our water resources.
