Proceedings of the Western Governors' Association, Western States Water Council, California Department of Water Resources: May 2007 Climate Change Research Needs Workshop

The purpose of the workshop was to bring together state and local water managers, academic researchers, and representatives from federal Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) agencies that fund the academic research, to discuss how to better facilitate scientist-end user interactions and develop partnerships with the federal agencies. Given that there are many areas where focused research could help support planning for adapting to climate change impacts, the workshop was intended to help develop a road map for fostering research useful for Western water management.
