"Developing a dialogue for balancing human and environmental needs for water in a rapidly changing region"

A conference promoted by the Southeastern Environmental Flows Partnership
October 27 to 29, 2008, The Classic Center in Athens, Georgia

Slots are still available for both oral and poster presentations for the Environmental Flows Conference to be held in Athens, Georgia, on October 27-29, 2008. The planning committee has decided that our conference timeline will permit an extension of the abstract submittal deadline until June 6, 2008. If your research interests include climatic or human related flow alterations and the impacts on water quantity, quality, or stream biota we encourage you to submit an abstract. In addition, a conference session has been added encompassing general water resources issues in an effort to create a more balanced program.
