| The USGS is proud to be a contributing sponsor again for this event. The one day event is targeted to high school students who will be junior and seniors in the fall of 20007. The Summit will be held on November 8th at the State Capitol in Des Moines. It is designed to help develop future leaders by encouraging students to learn about all aspects of our water resources. Students will be required to write a paper addressing one of three scenarios, attend the Summit in November where they will give a brief presentation about their research and attend presentations by Iowa water professionals. |
