April 12-16, 2010 United States Society on Dams 2010 Annual Meeting and Conference - Sacramento, CA
  The 2010 USSD Conference theme is Collaborative Management of Integrated Watersheds. The productive and sustainable use of water resources is vital to the health, safety and economic well being of any society. Water resource infrastructure development during the 20th century was pivotal to the prosperity of our growing nation. The dams, reservoirs, powerhouses, levee and canal systems are sources of reliable green power, flood control, municipal water supply, food production, efficient transportation and public recreation. Along with these benefits and increased economic opportunities, we began gaining a greater understanding and appreciation of the environment, as well as a greater desire to participate in resource use decisions. During the 21st century, the astute and adaptive management of watersheds and facilities will be necessary to sustain and improve these benefits and to meet the changing needs of society and our evolving knowledge of the changing water resource picture.

August 2010
August 23-27, 2010 2010 Watershed Management Conference - Madison, WI
 

Climate change has the potential to undermine our traditional approaches for managing water resources in developed and developing areas. In response we must evaluate and improve the ways in which we design, manage, operate, and regulate water resource practices and facilities. This demands a partnership between researchers, practitioners, managers, regulators, and the public.

Themed “Innovations in Watershed Management Under Land Use and Climate Change,” this conference will highlight innovative approaches for managing water resources under climate and land use change. Relevant topics include hydrologic measurement and modeling, integrated and/or adaptive water management, aquatic ecosystem restoration, risk-based design, and the use of regional predictions of climate change. We expect to attract a diverse group of researchers, practitioners, managers, and regulators, and will engage them in one or more activities focused on bridging the gap between research and practice.
