Water is essential to life. Nations already go to war over oil even though there are alternative sources of energy. There is no substitute for water. Without water a city cannot exist. When water supplies are limited and are of poor quality, a city cannot grow. Water scarcity is a serious issue for the real estate community.
The 11th Kratovil Conference on Real Estate Law & Practice, “WATER as a Resource: Implications for Real Estate Ownership, Development and Land Use Planning” presented Nov. 20 by the Center for Real Estate Law at The John Marshall Law School was organized to educate the real estate community and its attorneys about the coming water crisis.
