Water Sustainability Conference on tap for Nov. 8-9

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 08:10:04 CDT

Water Sustainability Conference on tap for Nov. 8-9 On Nov. 8-9, top state and tribal water leaders, researchers and other experts will take the stage at the Seventh Annual Oka’ (Water) Sustainability Conference on the East Central University campus in Ada, Oklahoma. The event, featuring a curated lineup of speakers as well as water resource-oriented field trips for attendees, is hosted by the Oka’ Institute.


Featured speakers at the two-day conference, which annually attracts hundreds of citizens and water professionals interested in sustainable water use and protection in both the state and its Tribal Nations, include Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby; Dr. Chris Frey, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency assistant administrator of Research and Development; new Oklahoma Secretary of Energy and Environment Ken McQueen; and ECU President Wendell Godwin.


According to Duane Smith, executive director of the Oka’ Institute, sustainable management of Oklahoma’s water resources is evolving from a trendy expression to real-world practice.


“State and federal agencies are now discovering what our indigenous peoples have known for millennia. That is, with a little creative thinking and innovation, we can leverage our water resources for economic development while sustainably managing those very waters for our many needs — both consumptive and non-consumptive — well into the future,” Smith said. “The experienced and diverse group of speakers we’ve assembled for the Conference are well-positioned to stimulate that conversation and advance new ways of thinking about the future of our water.”


The conference will explore the latest developments in water management, policy and law as well as Tribal water perspectives and ongoing research initiatives dealing with water sustainability.


The first day’s events will conclude with a reception followed by dinner at the CBCC Banquet Hall. Day two of the conference will also feature separate optional field trips to the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer enhanced recharge site and nearby Byrds Mill Spring, Ada’s water source.
