Adam Putnam Headed to Israel to Talk About Water Issues

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam will speak at the WATEC Israel 2015 event next month on water issues. 

“Florida is one of the fastest growing regions in North America, and we face unique water resource management issues,” Putnam said on Wednesday. “We must balance the needs of our population with those that support a growing economy, while protecting the natural systems so vital to our quality of life.”
 
Putnam will talk about “Implementation of Water Scarcity Solutions Worldwide – Lessons Learned from Different Regions” on Oct. 13 in Tel Aviv and focus on water issues in Florida. 

“By bringing all water stakeholders in Florida together to monitor actual water use, assess the ability of each source to supply water and anticipate future demand, we can estimate the shortfall of supply and take action now to close that gap,” Putnam said.
