The 2005 Dialogue will be based on a similar format to the 2002 Dialogue and will include 3 keynote addresses and panel discussions on three key issues. These issues are Infrastructure Management; Water Resources Supply and Demand; and Environmental Quality. Presentations and discussions will be structured so that each issue is addressed rigorously and objectively, and that all sides of the issues including successes and failures are covered. Senior level speakers and panelists will be drawn from all levels of government, academia, and the private sector including NGO's, industry, and conservation groups. Because the Second Dialogue format includes fewer key issues, it will provide even greater opportunities for in-depth conversations and discussions among all attendees on the critical issues and questions. While the key issues will be national in scope, within each key issue, western concerns will be addressed
