The 2020 Annual Salinity Summit was a blast! We talked about technology, discussed policy, and took guesses at water quality. Mark your calendars for next year's Summit: February 24-26, 2021.
Following is a thread recapping the happenings last week in Las Vegas.

Congrats to Duong Nguyen (PhD student) on receiving the @MSSCoalition scholarship! Had a great time at the summit in Vegas hearing about salinity management and desal. Thanks for the giant check :)
Moderator Kevin Kluge asked each panelist what a good tattoo would be that embodies water and their mission. Answers with emojis: 💧 = 💴 , million 🌲 🌳 🌲 🌳, and 🤚 💦 🤚 (hands stretching water)
Fascinating session with the movers and shakers. Jeff Walker (@twdb), Timothy Thomure (@TucsonWater), and Dave Johnson (@SNWA_H2O) shared stories about successes and challenges in their cities. Thanks for coming to the MSSC Salinity Summit!
