Forum Objectives
The goals of the National Forum on Water Quality Trading are that participants will:
- Gain an understanding, through case study presentations and dialogue, of the economic and environmental benefits that trading can provide;
- Enhance their knowledge of how trading is implemented "on the ground," including the needs and roles of various trading partners and implementing agencies;
- Become familiar with technical and operational challenges for trading programs and some approaches to addressing these as trading moves forward; and
- Come away better prepared to implement or participate in trading programs where trading can achieve water quality goals more collaboratively and cost-effectively.
