Friends,

Following are three water-related events that I thought might interest you.

1) Sustainable Silicon Valley Water Summit
2) Green Plumbers Training Workshop

*1) Sustainable Silicon Valley Water Summit*

This event -- taking place at NASA/Ames Research Center in Mountain View 
on Monday, December 7 from 11am-7pm -- will catalyze a sea change in 
action towards resiliency in long term water supply and management in 
Silicon Valley.  The expo will feature speakers, panel discussions, expo 
tables and a wine and cheese reception.

The Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA), the City of 
Hayward and Green Plumbers are hosting a water efficiency training 
workshop on December 1-4 in Hayward.  As part of this training, BAWSCA

are available and eligible for rebates (specifically high efficiency 
toilets).  This information can be used by plumbers to effectively 
convey to their customers.
