Caf\u00c3\u00a9 Scientifique Gainesville<\/a> Hosts a Presentation Titled:
\nFlorida’s Vanishing Water
\nCynthia Barnett, Journalist and Author<\/strong>
\nAbstract: In the 19th Century, Floridians were determined to rid the land of water, never imagining how sorely we would someday miss 9 million acres of wetlands drained statewide. In the 20th Century, we viewed our aquifers underground as endless, handing out water permits to anyone who asked for one, never imagining a time when our once-abundant groundwater resources would no longer be sustainable for future supply. So what assumptions are we making today that will seem equally farfetched 50 or 100 years from now? One false assumption is that we must have more and more and more water to grow our economy. Population growth and economic prosperity need not follow the increasing-demand, mega-infrastructure path of the last century. In the 21st Century, for the first time in its history, Florida has a chance to forge a sustainable water path. Will we do it?
\n7:30-9:30 pm, Tuesday, 10 June 2008<\/strong>
