Water is a central issue in California and will increasingly command attention and concern as pollution, privatization and conflicting interests affect the lives of every citizen. There is a great need to educate large populations about the current issues involved with fresh water so they can make informed decisions about issues and candidates. The Commonwealth Club of California is holding a special series of events in August to examine this issue from all angles. All programs will take place at The Club (595 Market Street, San Francisco) unless otherwise specified. The series is presented in association with Oakland's Pacific Institute for Studies in Environment, Development, and Security, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2007. Underwritten by The David & Lucile Packard Foundation and The Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund.
