AWRC Annual Water Conference

AWRC’s conference app enhances how we share information about our annual water conference. We are going paperless this year, so this app is the place to get conference materials like the program, parking and wifi information, and more leading up to the conference and after you are there!

More than 150 people from academia, government, industry, consulting, non-profit organizations, and others gather to connect with colleagues at our annual water conference. These students and professionals work to develop the latest research and solve our important water resources challenges.

This year’s theme is “Water Management and Nutrient Recovery”.

We are working with Dr. Lauren Greenlee, assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of Arkansas to share information about the needs and opportunities for water and nutrient recycling from agricultural and municipal sectors. The goal is to come up with solutions to reclaim nutrients from wastewater and increase water availability.

We are also partnering with the U.S. Geological Survey to answer questions about water availability in one of the most important agricultural regions in the United States – the Mississippi Alluvial Plain.

Finally, we are teaming up with the Arkansas Chapter of the American Water Resources Association for their annual symposium. That group will focus on an agenda that covers “Collaborations in Water Quality” with agriculture, as well as the draft regulation on nutrient trading in Arkansas.
