Overview:

The scarcity of clean water represents a global threat to society, equal to or greater than that of oil resources.  A range of factors are responsible for this shortage, including population growth in arid regions, and contamination of surface and groundwater supplies.  Membrane technologies can be used to provide both short and long term solutions to these problems by providing clean water from low quality sources. 

This conference will showcase advances in membrane technologies for water and wastewater treatment as well as novel membrane materials and processes.  The conference will be in the style of the Gordon Research Conference; all sessions will be plenary sessions with time for questions and discussion.  Opportunities will be provided for networking and group recreational activities, such as hiking and sports.
