2005 World Water and Environmental Resources Congress

Plan to join EWRI in exciting Anchorage, Alaska to gain insight into global climate change and its environmental and water impacts. This Congress offers the rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the grandeur of the Great Land, and also participate in discussing on of the biggest challenges to face the world-wide professional community. Regardless of your location, global climate change will impact you and your community.

Four days of technical sessions will cover hydrologic impacts of changing climate patterns, irrigation adaptation to changing water supplies, role of simulation models in adaptive management of environmental systems, and much more! Additional activities will include incredible one-day field trip adventures and networking & social events featuring Alaskan native themes and locales!

Anchorage is a great city to plan your vacation before or after the Congress! The spirited city of Anchorage sits perched on the shores of serene Cook Inlet, at the base of the picturesque snow-capped Chugach Mountains. Driving just 10 minutes south of town puts you at the breathtaking Turnagain Arm. Driving another five minutes down the road presents you face-to-face with vistas filled with mountain sheep in their natural state. Available tours through the region can deliver you to such storied points as Portage Glacier, Mt. McKinley, Prince William Sound, Kenai Peninsula, Chugach State Park, and many excellent museums and exhibits on native culture, crafts, and artistry.

Please consider submitting proposals for sessions, paper abstracts, andposters for next year's Congress.
