From Session 6-a pannel on the Water Impacts of Energy Development, of Track B-Warming Watersheds, at River Network's Winter Training 2010, Wendy Smith of World Wildlife Federation -- in her presentation Common Water, Common Ground: Southeast Rivers and Streams Program -- explores the negative impacts of climate change on water supplies across the south east region of the US, offering five retrogradations for response: Preserve headwaters; protect floodplains; conserve open space; maintain stream buffers; and require green infrastructure/low impact development.
