CWS Water Fellows Program

Water Fellows Program

Through the Water Fellows Program, CWS brings together a diverse group of Michigan citizens, called Water Fellows, and nationally-renowned water scientists to discuss critical water issues. The Water Fellows workshops are held every other year (odd-numbered years) and each series explores a different water issue. For more information, and to access materials from the past workshops, please explore the below links:

• 2005: Shaping Future Water Policy
• 2007: Waterborne Pathogens
• 2009: Stormy Weather and Stormwater Impacts: Keeping Michigan Clean and Green
• 2011: Water Fellows Reunion
