IOWA WATER CONFERENCE - March 6, 2007 at Scheman Building, Iowa State Center, Ames, Iowa.

The emerging bioenergy industry in Iowa will impact local and regional water resources. Significant changes in agricultural systems, management practices, and water demands to satisfy the growing bioenergy industry have the potential to both positively and negatively affect surface and ground water. The purpose of this conference is to address the question: How will the biofuel industry affect sustainability of Iowa's water resources, and how will water resources affect the sustainability of the biofuel industry? 

Conference objectives:
Clarify the relationship between the bioenergy industry, and water quality and quantity. 
Identify what additional information is needed about these relationships. 
Suggest means to address these needs. 

The Iowa Water Center will summarize input gathered from the conference working groups and develop recommendations that address water resource opportunities and challenges related to the growing biofuel industry. The recommendations will be provided to industry leaders, researchers and other key stakeholders.
