The conference is sponsoring six workshops that offer opportunities to discuss and contribute to papers summarizing conclusions on topics of specific interest. The conference calendar will support three rooms each of two days for a total of six 90-minute workshop periods. Each workshop will adjourn to clusters of posters on the same topic from which additional information important to the workshop conclusions may be generated for written workshop products.
The three workshops concurrently scheduled for Tuesday, 14 September are:
1. Nutrient Criteria to Protect Aquatic Life of Streams and Lakes in Intensive Agricultural Watersheds
2. Landscape controls on diffuse nutrient transfers in agricultural catchments
3. Managing Urban Stormwater Quality in a Changing Climate: Science, Engineering and Policy
The three workshops concurrently scheduled for Wednesday, 15 September are:
4. Management Practices to Reduce Nutrient Loss from Agricultural Systems: Research Results Establishing Effective and Non-effective Conservation Practices
5. Emerging Contaminants in Groundwater and Surface Water: Selected Substances, Sources, Monitoring, Risk Assessment and Management
6.
Water Quality Trading: Pre-requisite Analyses
Two guest speakers have been invited to each workshop to initiate discussion. Workshop participants are encouraged to prepare informal written contributions to the topic that can be considered by workshop chairs and secretaries in preparing summary papers. Please e-mail any comments to the workshop chair at least one week prior to the conference. The product of each workshop will be a written summary of the presented papers, discussions from the participants, draft comments from participants, and any conclusions reached during discussions. Workshop papers will be reviewed by participants before submitting to the editors of Water 21 by individual workshop chairs with the support of the workshop organizer and conference organizing committee.
