priority list of western water issues?
– Until our scientific understanding of climate improves,
should we just focus on other, better-understood
issues such as population growth?
– Should we consider climate change and/or increasing
variability a foregone conclusion?
• How should the western water community
respond to the dangers associated with climate
change and variability?
– What should our strategy look like?
– What specific actions should be taken?
– Are our water institutions up to the challenge, or are
reforms needed?
