The subject of the conference delt with clean water issues world wide. The students talked about water issues world wide and the extent of the clean water problem. Education is the key to handling the problem, water a plenty need access. They talked about a ethics issue with the water problem in a small village in Bolivia, politics can get in the way of solutions.Public and private parties working together can help solve the problem. no single answer can to the job.
