International Conference on Stormwater and Urban Water Systems Modeling

Details
The annual International Conference on Stormwater and Urban Water Systems Modeling is a forum for professionals from across North America and overseas to exchange ideas and experience on current practices and emerging technologies. This forum is for engineers, scientists, modelers and administrators involved in water pollution control and water systems design and analysis. The conference is sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers Urban Water Resources Research Council, the American Water Resources Association, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy, the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering, and Conservation Ontario. It generates a 500 page hard-cover book of the proceedings which is extensively referenced, edited and indexed.

This is the 21st in the current series of annual Toronto conferences and is also effectively the 45th SWMM Users Group Meeting, and the 30th to be held in Canada. Presentations are of a high standard, attendance is large and discussion is lively. And, by accepting papers up to the last few weeks before the event, a spontaneity is achieved which gives this conference special character.

Who should attend?
The conference is multi-disciplinary and is designed for all who have a direct stake in stormwater management, non-point source pollution or the modeling of urban water systems. Attendees include: civil and environmental engineers; landscape engineers and architects; aquatic biologists, ecologists, fluvial geomorphologists and other scientists; urban geographers, and policy makers; professionals from municipal and government engineering; public works personnel; consultants; and instructors and researchers at universities and research institutes.

Cost
2 Day Conference: C$395 /US$395

Call for Papers
Have you worked hard on a project that you feel has made a significant improvement? Do you have an innovation you’d like to share with your peers? Now is the time to submit an abstract for consideration for presentation at the 2012 International Conference on Stormwater and Urban Water Systems Modeling in Toronto.

Those chosen to present at our 21st annual Toronto conference will have the opportunity to share their work with civil and environmental engineers; landscape engineers and architects; aquatic biologists, ecologists, fluvial geomorphologists and other scientists; urban geographers, and policy makers; professionals from municipal and government engineering; public works personnel; consultants; and instructors and researchers at universities and research institutions. The abstracts will be published in the conference program and later generates a 500 page hard-cover book of the proceedings which is extensively referenced, edited and indexed.

Abstracts for papers are solicited on the use of state-of-the-art computer models for resolving real pollution problems and for water supply and distribution; urban drainage system design and analysis; surface water quality modeling; stormwater and pollution management modeling; modeling impacts on aquatic ecosystems and habitats; wetlands and LIDs; eco-restoration; field data monitoring and emerging instrumentation; GIS; decision analysis systems; facilities management systems; and policy legislation, permitting and enforcement.

Deadline for Abstracts: February 1st, 2012
