Call for Posters

Submission deadline March 1, 2018
Maximum of only 28 abstracts accepted

Abstracts:

We welcome abstracts for the poster session that describe strategies and tools to conjunctively maintain the viability of rivers, reservoirs, and lakes including the connectivity between surface and subsurface water which help resource managers effectively balance traditionally recognized water needs with the ecological vitality of river systems.

Posters that highlight projects that integrate ecological, legal, and social aspects as part of comprehensive water management efforts in the face of drought are of particular interest. We also welcome abstracts for projects that integrate new habitat quantification methods with historic flow analyses. Other potential poster topics include novel tools for evaluating flow needs and/or applications that use widely recognized environmental flow assessment tools in a new way.
