The Great Lakes region's eight governors and two Canadian premiers have chosen Dec. 13 as their day to consider signing a pair of documents intended to block any future attempts to pipe Great Lakes water across North America or export it in tankers to other parts of the world.
The summit, to take place at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, would be the first of its kind since Great Lakes governors and premiers met in Niagara Falls, N.Y., in June, 2001, to begin negotiating a regional water compact called Annex 2001.
