2nd Annual Water Conservation Showcase
Tuesday, March 22nd from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm
Pacific Energy Center (PEC), 851 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA
In the drought-prevalent climate of California, water availability,
water policy issues and water conservation strategies have never been
more timely concerns. The 2005 Water Conservation Showcase will feature
the latest cutting-edge products, services, and information available to
help Californians conserve and wisely manage our most abused and most
critical natural resource. The event will showcase products like
water-efficient fixtures, drought-tolerant landscaping systems, leak
detection equipment, permeable pavement, drip irrigation and rainwater
harvesting systems. In addition to products and services, the showcase
will highlight creative conservation ideas and problem-solving design
approaches through lectures and panel discussions by government and
industry leaders addressing regional water issues. Join us for this
important and educational event co-sponsored by the Northern California
