Water Resources Session Plenary Speakers and Titles From Dan Snyder, 12/08/2009

Note: Jake Kann is out of the office until 12/13 so we came up with a title that we hope is close to what Jake envisions. We expect that the titles will evolve as the presentations are more fully developed and we hope that the titles on the conference web page can be updated at a later date. However, the speakers understand that the titles given below are likely to be published in the Conference Program. -Dan 12/8/2009
