Mark Your Calendar! EWRI Announces the 2005 Watershed Management Conference
Managing Watersheds for Human and Natural Impacts: Engineering, Ecological, and Economic Challenges
The 2005 Environmental and Watershed Resources Institute of ASCE's Watershed Management Conference will be held on July 20- 23, 2005, in historic Williamsburg, VA. This conference provides an opportunity for water resources managers, professional engineers and scientists to discuss recent advances in watershed management issues and practice. This will be the first time the conference, held once every five years since 1965, is east of the Mississippi River. While the eastern states share many of the same watershed management challenges as the west, the east faces additional problems created by centuries of urbanization and sprawl.
This conference will bring together a diverse group of attendees, each with a critical stake in watershed management. The four-day conference will include a plenary session, technical and poster sessions, workshops, trade exhibits, and several networking events. Proceedings will be provided onsite at the conference. Topics ranging in scope from state-of-the-art computer modeling, to field monitoring, to watershed science, to governmental policy and regulation all have a home at Watershed Management 2005. Individuals spanning just as broad a scope — engineers, hydrologists, biologists, ecologists, economists, attorneys, public officials, and governmental planners among them — are expected and encouraged to attend. As with past Watershed Management symposia, we especially encourage presentations from international professionals and experts whose unique perspective is central to the goals of this meeting.
Please join us July 19-22, 2005, in Williamsburg, Virginia, and continue the tradition of the eight previous Watershed Management conferences. We hope that you take advantage of this opportunity to share your knowledge, technical experiences, and efforts in this important field by submitting an abstract for presentation at this meeting. One-page abstracts are due June 1, 2004 and authors will be notified on August 2, 2004 of the acceptance of their abstract with final papers being due February 4, 2005.
Questions should be directed to the Conference Chair Glenn Moglen at (301) 405-1964.
