ST. LOUIS-Missourians with an interest in the history, ecology or economic development of the Missouri-Mississippi river confluence can join other people, government agencies, businesses and nonprofit groups to discuss river issues at a conference titled "Meeting of the Waters: Cooperative Conservation, Recreation and Economic Development in the St. Louis Region."
The symposium May 9 through 11 will bring together diverse interests to share information, discuss issues and see the confluence during a field trip.
Fifteen multiple-track workshops will cover water quality issues, flood and flood plains topics, community planning, parks and trails, education, river culture and policy and the proposed Lewis and Clark Water Trail.
