The Canadian Bar Association 2011 National Environment, Energy and Resources Law Summit will focus on Water Law - Property, Protection and Policy. The Summit will be held on 7-9 April 2011, in Banff, Alberta. The annoucement for the Summit states:

«Join leading legal practitioners, academics and industry experts from across Canada and from the United States, South Africa and elsewhere, to discuss and understand the implications of differing domestic water allocation regimes on competing demands, the interplay between commercial development and water, the regulation and protection of natural water resources. Learn about the international concerns surrounding trade and the treatment of water as an export commodity, water in the Arctic, and trans-boundary water pollution. Develop insight into local and municipal issues such as restricted water use, pollution control legislation, drinking water delivery, watershed management and issues related to the development of Canada's water related infrastructure and the protection of Canada's drinking water supplies.»
