The Delegation will visit Nevada from September 9th-14th. This program will focus on the relationships between water resources and energy production, including how climate change is affecting thinking about the “water-energy nexus”. In particular, this program will explore successful strategies for integrated water and energy resources management at the local and regional levels in the U.S.

• promotion of cleaner production practices to prevent pollution and encourage water reuse in industry and municipal settings;
• water pollution arising from fuel extraction, generation, and waste disposal in power generation;
• developing stronger regulatory and policy frameworks to promote rational allocation of resources and help protect water quality.
