Title: Agricultural Water Treatment: It's not rocket science... or is it?
Description: Agricultural water treatment has been the subject of public and
regulatory dispute as a way to reduce potential microbiological hazards in
irrigation water used on fresh produce. But water treatment at the field level
is an imperfect science. This panel will discuss successes and challenges with
implementing agricultural water treatment from a "boots on the
ground" perspective.
