Abstract Submission: February 15, 2021
The conference planning committee is pleased to invite abstract submissions for the 2021 UCOWR/NIWR (Virtual) Water Resources Conference. Gaps in projected water supply and demand, declining water quality, increased food and energy needs, and a changing climate highlight the numerous water challenges facing society and water resources professionals. UCOWR and NIWR invite you to join leading researchers, educators, water managers, students, and other professionals from across the country and world to join the dialogue as we seek to develop solutions to complex water resources challenges and explore bridges between science and policy. We call your attention to a special focus on Water and Social-Environmental Justice and especially encourage abstracts on this timely and critical topic.
Abstracts (300 words max) for oral, poster, panel, lightning, and participatory presentations should be submitted electronically. If accepted and presented, abstracts will be published as part of the Conference Proceedings. For this virtual conference, prerecorded talks will be requested by May 28, 2021.
