AWRA Spring Specialty Conference 2012
AWRA’s Spring Specialty Conference on GIS and Water Resources, held once every two years, is a unique international forum addressing geospatial solutions to the ever-growing list of challenges and applications in Water Resources.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related geospatial information technologies have become increasingly embedded in analysis, planning and management of environmental and water resources systems. With the rapid growth of online services providing geospatial data, water data, climate data, geospatial analysis, and collaborative capabilities, it is more important than ever to share and to learn about the impacts of information technologies on water science and engineering. This Specialty Conference continues the AWRA biennial tradition of surveying the state of knowledge in the field, following the 1996 conference in Ft. Lauderdale, 2004 conference in Nashville, 2006 conference in Houston, 2008 conference in San Mateo and 2010 conference in Orlando. Because of its interdisciplinary approach to water resource opportunities and problems, AWRA provides an excellent professional home for the most comprehensive forum on the application of GIS and related information systems to water resources engineering and sciences and for addressing water resources challenges.
The Conference Organizing Committee invites you to join this important community of scholars, practitioners, and decision makers in New Orleans by sharing your experiences and knowledge with an oral presentation, participation on a panel or in a special session, or presentation of a poster at the conference. Also, there will be an opportunity to present freeware and public domain software tools and web services on the conference website so that other attendees can do
