Welcome to the National Capital Region Section!

Reestablished!

The National Capital Region is being reestablished as a Section of the American Water Resources Association to provide a forum for professionals to meet and exchange ideas on all aspects of water resources and related fields. The Section will be responsive to the large variety of professional interests in the metropolitan area including state, federal, regional and local water resource topics.

The NCR Section is planning to hold one major event in September and four luncheon or other events in November, January, March and May. A variety of topics, speakers, and panels will be presented in different venues and locations. There will be one field trip or tour each year and joint meetings when possible with other organizations with water or related interests.

The next event will be a presentation by ICPRB Executive Director, Joe Hoffman, Wednesday, January 14, 2009 at 5:30 pm. Please see our Events page for details and registration.
