Dates: March 30 - April 20, 2008
Phoenix, Arizona, USA
The 2008 International Seminar on Watershed Management will be held from March 30-April 20, in the southwestern United States. Because of the increasing demand, legal conflict and competing uses and practices that place tremendous pressure on its extremely scarce water supply, the southwestern U.S. is an excellent case study for watershed managers. The seminar is designed for mid-career watershed management professionals who desire to take part in an interactive and intensive training and exchange program on integrated watershed management. The program is sponsored by the US Forest Service International Programs.

Global
Leaflet presents highlights of policy, research,
technical cooperation, development, and conservation
activities in which the Forest Service is involved worldwide.
Its purpose is to demonstrate the breadth and importance
of international collaboration on natural resource management
issues and to share information within the Forest Service
and with our partners in the United States and around
the world.
International Programs (IP) is dedicated to applying
the wealth of skills within the Forest Service to foster
sustainable forest management globally. We encourage
linking the agency's researchers, foresters, wildlife
biologists, hydrologists, policymakers, and disaster
specialists, with partners overseas to work on assignments
in the areas of technical cooperation, policy assistance,
and disaster coordination. Our focus is on key natural
resource problems and issues in countries with significant
forest resources and important forest-related trade
with the United States. International cooperation results
in improved sustainable natural resource practices in
partner countries, develops the skills of Forest Service
personnel, and brings back knowledge and innovative
technologies to the United States.
