November 17-19, 2008

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Water Resources Research Institutes (WRRI) invite you to join us at the 2008 Mid-Atlantic Regional Water Resources Research Conference: The Water-Energy Nexus: A Necessary Synergy for the 21st Century.

With the increasing demand for both water and energy, innovative approaches are needed to manage these two resources. High oil and gasoline prices, climate change, and global politics place more demand on remaining U.S. coal, oil, and natural gas reserves. In addition, the impetus is on developing new "greener" more "environmentally-friendly" energy sources. Energy requires water in the production process.

Researchers from colleges and universities (faculty, graduate and undergraduate students), federal and state agencies, private organizations, consulting firms, and others are invited to present papers. We have extended our Abstracts deadline. To find out more download our Call For Papers pdf.

Join us in Shepherdstown, West Virginia at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Conservation Training Center this fall. Find out more about the area on the lodging.
