Workshop on water quality data management, review, and submittal to MassDEP and/or WQX (EPA’s Water Quality Exchange).

Water symposium for undergraduate and graduate students

Symposium focusing on rehabilitating urban streams

The MIT Water Club and its sponsors are thrilled to announce the fifth edition of the MIT Water Summit, a gathering of not only students and faculty from MIT and the greater Boston area, but also leaders from industry, finance, government, and academia to explore current problems and potential solutions surrounding water resources. Students from UMass are cordially invited to participate. This year the Summit will focus on political, financial, and technological issues surrounding the future of water utilities around the globe.

The Water Resources Research Center is cooperating with WPI on a one-day workshop to develop sustainable solutions to emerging water problems.

This course will present the fundamentals of drinking water treatment processes, new developments in drinking water treatment, apply course materials to existing and proposed drinking water requirements, and illustrate applications of principles and practice using pilot-scale plant and full-scale plant case studies.

Training Workshop: The Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System A 3 day hands-on training workshop on the use and applications of the Community WRF-Hydro Modeling System.

Water and its remarkable physical properties make life on earth possible. In this conference we will pay particular attention to water’s role in regulating climate through its capacity to store, move and transfer more heat than any other natural compound. Water is a planetary thermostat, and even with elevated greenhouse gases in the atmosphere it can cool the biosphere and address destructive feedback loops in the climate system.

The 2015 Graduate Student Water Symposium will be hosted at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA on September 11 - 13. All technical presentations will be by undergraduate and graduate students, but post docs, alumni, faculty, and industry representatives are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Water problems pose interdisciplinary challenges as evidenced by the tremendous diversity of interests within the three organizations sponsoring this conference, UCOWR, NIWR, and CUAHSI. This conference was unique because it is both a scientific conference and an exploration of how universities organize themselves to meet societal goals concerning water resources. A central theme addressed was: How does university water research contribute to solving societal challenges? Leading water managers, educators, researchers, and other professionals from across the country gathered at the first joint conference of these national organizations to address some of the most compelling and important challenges facing our profession.

The goal of this workshop was to link researchers, practitioners, and policymakers with and among each other to identify challenges, opportunities, and next steps within the context of stormwater in our region. We are currently compiling notes from the Next Steps session and the list of participants interested in being part of a working group to explore those next steps.

The Water Infrastructure Capacity Building Team is planning a Green Infrastructure Workshop for Sustainable Communities grantees in Amherst, MA on December 6, 2012. This is an invitation-only event specially designed for New England grantees who elected to be part of the water cohort for technical assistance, including Franklin Regional Council of Governments.

All day symposium focused on water at Harvard University. Free and open to the public.

The 7th Annual Water Resources Research Center Conference at the University of Massachusetts Amherst addreseds the needs for water monitoring, assessment, and management of water resources in New England in the face of variability due to changes in climate, land use, population, and other environmental stressors.

This year’s conference will highlight integrated water resources management, from cutting-edge research on the assessment and remediation of impaired water resources, to policy for water use, reuse, conservation, and balance.
