On the Water Policy Institute
In an interview, Robb said that "Climate change is likely to be a major topic" of the Water Policy Institute. "Other topics will include the intersection of water quality and quantity; desalination; new technology; agriculture; allocation of water; and infrastructure." [4]
"Founding members include GE Water, BP and the Central Arizona Water Conservation District. Companies are likely to be among the chief members initially, but I am hopeful to attract a wide range of constituencies. The goal is to provide a forum for cross-pollination among various stakeholders." [5]
