Western States Water Council
2009 Symposium
Water & Land Use Planning
for a Sustainable Future:
Scaling and Integrating
Integrating water and land use planning at different scales is increasingly important as we strive to meet challenges related to growth, change and sustainability in the arid West. Land use impacts water demands and water availability limits land use options. Sound planning requires taking both into consideration. We cannot define and achieve sustainability without understanding the limits of our land and water resources, and the present and future demands on those resources.
As the Chinese aphorisms say, “Together we get smart. Together we work. Together we progress.” This symposium will bring together diverse participants from special districts, cities and counties, state and federal agencies, and nongovernmental organizations, including policy and decision-makers, planners, developers, and regulators to look at water and land use patterns, share experiences and concerns, identify problems and potential solutions, discuss obstacles and opportunities, and develop recommendations to better integrate and scale water and land use planning for a sustainable future.
