Southfield, MI 48076
This conference is for Michigan’s engineers, scientists and related professionals to discuss solutions to Michigan’s water issues. H20 Michigan will pair great resource with the region’s great talent. The program will include three different session tracks:
1. Water Solutions for Industrial Processes
2. Water Solutions for Commercial/Residential Building
3. Water Treatment Trends (i.e., ozone, ultraviolet, nanotechnology, etc.)
Proposed solutions will stimulate a panel discussion about ways to protect our most valued resource and how we can transform our economy into a sustainable future environment. Join us at H2O Michigan to take part in the innovative thinking that will shape the future of Michigan’s water.
