By California Water Science Center March 5, 2016

Scientists from visited the Califonia Water Science Center to discuss California water issues as part of their national tour.

The California Water Science Center opened its doors to scientific delegates from Kazakhstan March 4. Four scientists from the Central Asian country (and two translators) visited the California Water Science Center's office in San Diego, CA, as part of a larger, nationwide tour of important scientific research areas of interest. Three CAWSC scientists lead the visitors in a discussion of important California water issues including the Salton Sea, current drought conditions, California's vast aquifer system, resource sustainability, hydrologic modeling software, and issues in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. After an informal meeting, CAWSC director Eric Reichard lead the delegates on a tour of the Center, including the Center's laboratories and a display of field gear.
