Join us in Edmonton for the Annual CWRA-Alberta Branch Conference!
This year, the branch conference will be hosted at the Coast Edmonton Plaza Hotel in Downtown Edmonton
on March 28-30, 2010.
About the Conference:
The theme for the 2010 Branch Conference is “Innovation….Adding Science to Water!!”
CWRA is partnering with the Alberta Water Research Institute and the North Saskatchewan Watershed
Alliance to develop a program that will showcase current research and science related to water and
watersheds in Alberta. There will be a particular focus on issues in and around the North Saskatchewan
River Basin. However other work showcasing innovation in water related science and management in Alberta
will be included in the program.
The program is being structured around specific water management issues in Alberta. Speakers will present
work that has been or is currently being done to address each issue, directly or indirectly, and this will
be followed by a discussion of each issue and related research for the purposes of identifying “What else do
we need to know?”
The program committee is putting together a packed set of sessions highlighting issues and innovations in
the following areas:
- Headwater Protection
- Municipal / Industrial Water Quality Technology
- Healthy Aquatic Ecosystems
- Water Information and Information Management
- Environmental Values
- Productivity and Efficiency
Also for the first time in many years we will be having a formal Student Poster Session with
cash prizes for the best posters.
Check back in to the web site regularly, as more detailed information about the conference
program, will become available soon!
