She asked what short-term needs build the case for longer-term investments in basic science and engineering, as well as changes to policy. PANEL PRESENTATIONS Oklahoma Office of Energy and Environment Perspective Secretary Michael Teague, Oklahoma Office of Energy and Environment Teague opened his presentation by commenting on the "why." The "why" for Oklahoma is the existence of a freshwater shortage.

At this point, however, knowing the quality of water going into the well may not need to be characterized at the same level of detail because the needs are a bit broader, he said. He emphasized the importance of taking into account the longterm potential health impacts, but at the same time being able to test samples more quickly to be relevant to the water resource solution.

Paque said that a map of water users is needed and he mentioned particularly the need to map rural water districts and small communities relative to produced water areas. A panelist commented that they see a really strong role for government to do independent technology evaluation and elaborated on the role of demonstration projects.
