"Agriculture is by far the largest consumer of fresh water on the planet, and is fully dependent on a sustainable supply of quality water," said Ken Korth, conference program committee co-chair and UA professor of plant pathology.
"It is critical that agricultural researchers, food and fiber producers, and agriculture-related industries are fully aware of the many facets of their activities that impact water sustainability. These issues will be explored at the conference."
