  • Impacts of changing drivers on water resources
  • Water quality protection and treatment
  • Managing water for people and the environment
  • Water security: the water-energy-food nexus
  • Science, stakeholders and decision-making

Student poster authors are eligible to compete for "Best Poster" awards based on the quality of the abstract, poster and discussion. Three poster winners will receive prizes of $1000 each to be used as funding to support future participation at a national conference.

 

Abstracts should not exceed 300 words, and must be submitted electronically using the on-line submission form no later than October 11, 2013.  Authors will indicate their preferred topic area and format (oral/poster) but final decisions will be made by the program committee.  Authors will be notified by email regarding acceptance and format of their presentation no later than November 5, 2013.  Accepted abstracts will be published online.
