CASI presents an important event on desalination technology and its role in environmental protection, public health and making water more abundant in California. Top experts in this field will present detailed information on desalination technology and tangible things that can occur with adequate public awareness. Our presenting experts are Brad Imamura, Director, Marina Coast Water District; Remieh Scherzinger, General Manager, Central Coast Water District, and Steven Sprague, COO of CAP, a leading manufacturer of desal plants.

We shall explore the emerging technology of desalination as it applies to:

• End consumer costs and potential for plentiful water supply for consumers and farmers
• Public health benefits of membrane technology that delivers water of high purity (e.g. removal of microplastics and other chemicals not usually removed from our drinking water)
• Unwarranted California regulatory obstacles
• Ability to reduce our dependence on wastewater as input
• Compatibility with marine ecosystem health

The event will occur on August 20 at 5 pm at the elegant boardroom of the Marina Coast Water District located at 920 2nd Avenue, Suite B, Marina, CA 93933. Complimentary appetizers and non alcoholic beverages will be served. Ample parking is available and the venue is conveniently accessed by State Highway 1 via Imjin Parkway.
