the biannual GIS in Water Resources conference of the American Water
Resources Association in March 2010 in Orlando Florida. This conference has
had a growing representation of projects from the OPEN SOURCE GIS world and
it would be awesome to see that continue! - Dan Ames)

Recognizing that Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become a
fundamental tool for the analysis, planning, and management of environmental
and water resources systems, AWRA launched a series of biennial conferences
on this increasingly important topic for water resources professionals.  The
spring 2010 conference will be the sixth in this series.

AWRA’s GIS conferences have seen both the breadth and depth of GIS
application areas in water resources and the variety of GIS software tools
to support such efforts expand dramatically in recent years.  This sixth
specialty conference will include presentations and topics on a number of
exciting new developments and research findings at the intersection of GIS
and water resources engineering and sciences. Researchers, practitioners,
and students working in this field are encourage d to submit and abstract
and plan to attend, keeping in mind that GIS includes commercial or open
source software, custom geospatial modeling solutions, virtual worlds,
web-based mapping, and more.
