(With apologies for cross posting... Please see the below announcement for 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)

The American Water Resources Association’s (AWRA) upcoming specialty conference on GIS in Water Resources is accepting abstracts through October 9, 2009. The conference will take place March 29-31, 2010 at the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel in Orlando, FL.  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.
