*****Please distribute widely to your staff and other colleagues***** The *National Water Quality Monitoring Council (NWQMC)* is proud to host its Seventh National Monitoring Conference-Monitoring From the Summit to the Sea-to be held in *Denver, Colorado from April 25-29, 2010.* The conference will focus on the many facets of water quality and quantity monitoring for improved understanding, protection, and restoration of our natural resources and communities. The conference is a centerpiece forum for communication that generally attracts 500-800 water practitioners from all backgrounds-including governmental organizations, volunteers, academia, watershed and environmental groups, and the private sector-to exchange information, develop skills, and foster collaboration and coordination. Come present and learn about new new findings on the quality of the Nation's streams and groundwater, estuaries, and lakes, as well as recent innovations and cutting-edge tools in water-quality monitoring, assessment, and reporting. We are very excited about the conference in Denver - not only because of its vibrant downtown nestled in outdoor grandeur - but because it provides an ideal venue to show case western water issues, including sustainable water management and efforts to evaluate effects of climate on water quality, quantity, and aquatic ecosystems. Please refer to the attached "Call for Abstracts" for specifics on themes and potential topics of interest. The on-line abstract submission system will be up and running in the beginning of June. For additional information as it becomes available go to: _ __http://acwi.gov/monitoring/conference/2010/index.html Feel free to distribute this call for papers to any appropriate institutions and colleagues. With your participation we look forward to another exciting and informative conference._ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
