2016 Clean Rivers, Clean Lake Conference
Every spring, Sweet Water hosts its annual Clean Rivers, Clean Lake Conference. The conference is an opportunity for water professionals, government representatives, nonprofit organizations, and private businesses to learn about improving the health of our watersheds through policy innovation, technical expertise and engineering, watershed restoration planning and practices, and collaboration and stakeholder involvement. It is an all-day event that includes presentations, workshops, exhibits, and an awards presentation for Sweet Water Mini-Grant Program recipients.
This year's conference theme is
One Water, One Future:
