The Society of Wetland Scientists (SWS) invites you to its Annual International Meeting to be held on June 10-15, 2007 in Sacramento, California. The meeting is being hosted by the Western Chapter. The meeting aims to bring together wetland scientists from all fields to explore the most recent findings in wetland science, to learn new techniques and procedures,
to exchange information on wetland and water policy throughout the world, and to discover the unique attributes of western wetlands.

The conference theme was selected to represent the broad fields of wetland science and to focus on the worldwide demand for clean water and the role that wetlands can play in meeting that need. This is particularly important in arid climates like California, Arizona, Nevada, and the Pacific Islands where water demands often result in the diversion of water from natural areas affecting not only the functioning of wetlands, but also the wildlife associated with these areas. At the same time, wetlands are being designed to assist in recharging groundwater basins, treating wastewater and storm water, and purifying drinking water. We hope that this theme will bring together hydrologists, biologists, and managers who are dealing with these problems. Local programs such as the Cal Fed projects, the South Bay Restoration Project, the Napa-Sonoma marsh restoration, the Salton Sea restoration project, and the many stream and wetland restoration projects around Lake Tahoe are examples that can serve as symposium topics for the conference.
