Water Lecture Series
The Water Lecture Series allows the community, industry leaders, academia, and government agencies to come together to network and discuss state-of-the-art treatment technologies, challenges and opportunities.
Each semester (fall, spring, and summer), an expert in a related industry presents their knowledge on a water and energy topic. The series helps engage the community and teaches the environmental benefits of reusing water in the oil industry. The series is free and open to the public.
These lectures will address key issues such as beneficial reuse and recycle of FPW, fit-for-purpose treatment technologies, energy-water nexus, data analytics, socio-economics, policy and regulation, and environmental impacts. International and national experts can bring invaluable insights to these key areas and to our regional political, business, and academic leadership. The Lecture Series on Water Issues, will serve to bring these leaders to our community to inspire our own academic community and policy makers to deepen their engagement with the region’s industries and the university.
The Lecture Series also offers professional development training modules on FPW management to the industry personnel; and d) provide regional industries and policy makers with reliable information on advanced FPW-based technologies, and major research and scientific breakthroughs.
