2010 Public Service Conference

The Great Lakes, the Upper Mississippi River watershed, Lake Winnebago… within its boundaries, Wisconsin holds more freshwater than many countries in the world. Increased pressures for the use of this natural resource, entrepreneurial designs to harness its value, and creative measures to preserve its availability have brought together a diverse coalition of interests.

This conference will explore the development of a water ethic in Wisconsin and its influence in achieving multiple interests: economic development, environmental protection, irrigation, recreation, and potability.

• Who ought to have access to Wisconsin's fresh water and how is this access regulated?
• How does water pricing impact the use and availability of this natural resource?
• Do existing environmental regulations sufficiently protect clean water sources?
• What can governments do to encourage the development of water-based industries?
• How has the Great Lakes Compact changed the legal landscape?
• What are the best practices in water infrastructure, pricing, safety, and conservation?

The 2010 Marquette Law School Public Service Conference will once again bring together a broad coalition of interested parties and provide a forum for discussion, debate, and determination.
