NOTICE:

AWRA will continue to hold this conference in-person as planned with strict safety and health protocols in place to continue our commitment to keep conference participates and AWRA safe. We cannot confirm there will be a hybrid component to this conference at this time. When submitting a Call for Topical Sessions and Workshops, please submit these knowing you are making a commitment to be in-person. If circumstances change in the local area (i.e. similar to the overwhelming spread of COVID-19 in Orlando and the health crisis that followed), the AWRA Board of Directors will assess the situation as it unfolds and may choose to make different choices at this time.

In the world we live in today, there is an inherent and permanent risk of being exposed to COVID-19 in your daily life. Trips to the grocery store, getting gas, picking up your children from school, and seeing family and friends are among the risks we take daily to live a normal and productive life. AWRA seeks to normalize how the AWRA community can gather in-person to fulfill our mission of community, conversation, and connection in the water resources community. Our safe and healthy protocols in place are the best practices of in-person gatherings today. The restrictions that are in place are the current standards, and protocols may change closer to the conference date. UPDATED: January 10, 2022

It is as important to represent hydrologic environments precisely with data as it is to represent hydrologic processes with equations. - David Maidment

Join your fellow water resource industry professionals in Austin, TX as we host a symposium to honor the work of Prof. David Maidment who has been at the forefront of advances in the application of geospatial technologies for Hydrology and Water Resources spanning a 40 year career. Attendees can expect a deeper understanding of the subjects where Dr. Maidment has worked, notably: Continental Scale Modeling and the US National Water Model; Hydrologic Information Systems; Using GIS in Water Resources; and ArcHydro and data models for spatial hydrographic data infrastructure.
