Project Summary: Abstract: We propose to establish the NH Water Resources Conference as an annual event. This conference differs from, and will complement, existing meetings because, as a weekday meeting, it will focus on a professional audience while still encouraging participation by laypeople, educators, and students. It will be held each year in Concord as a central location in NH, and to provide ease of access by state agency staff and legislators. Using this grant request as seed money for ongoing fundraising and revenue generation from registration fees, the conference will be sustainable as an annual forum for discussion and information transfer on issues of water resource research, education, and policy.
