This report reflects the presentations and discussions from a bilateral meeting held October 2, 2007 in Washington D.C.. The meeting, which was attended by an equal number of Canadian and American experts in freshwater science and policy, was the first theme-based event to be held as part of the PRI’s project on Engaging US Think-Tanks. The meeting was organized by the PRI and hosted by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars to explore possible areas and means of improving Canada-US policy research links relating to freshwater in the context of “Water and Climate Change” and the “Energy-Water Nexus”. As discussed in the report, the exchange between the meeting’s participants was rich and informative and there was a significant level of convergence on the key science and policy research needs with respect to freshwater including: the need for improved data and modeling capacity and integration; water related research for the energy sector; the advancement of watershed management; the development and adoption of policy options to increase water efficiency; and in-stream flow requirements.
