WATER MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM <br /> <br />Work to date: The Annual WSWC Water Management Symposium has traditionally been held under the <br />auspices of the Executive Committee. However, the Committee has asked one of the other committees to <br />lake the lead. Thus, over the years 1991-1993, given the fact that the subject was devoted to the <br />negotiated settlement of Indian water right claims, the lead responsibility for putting the symposium <br />together was delegated to the Legal Committee. In 1993, a decision was made that a symposium on Indian <br />right settlements should be deferred until September 1995. For ]994, the Council chose an alternative <br />topic for its water management symposium, namely, the Endangered Species Act and Western Water <br />Management. <br />
