What is WaterEC?
WaterEC is the world’s largest stormwater pollution
prevention conference. In its eighth year, WaterEC, The
North American Surface Water Quality Conference & Exposition,
will be held August 16–20, 2009, at the Anaheim Marriott
in Anaheim, California.
What does it Cost?
Attendee
registration for 2009:
Full Conference Package: $525 (Early Bird Rate)
Two-Day Package: $475 (Early Bird Rate)
One-Day Package: $325 (Early Bird Rate)
What are this years conference topics?
We will be offering 6 Tracks with over 120 presentations
and will include the following WaterEC Tracks:
BMP Case Studies
This track presents examples of how structural and
nonstructural best management practices (BMPs) are
being used—with
case studies and performance data—including
combinations of BMPs to achieve water-quality goals.
Low-Impact Development
Low-impact development (LID) strives to maintain or mimic
the predevelopment hydrology of a site by infiltrating,
storing, filtering, and evaporating stormwater runoff,
rather than moving it offsite to a centralized stormwater
system. This track deals with LID techniques, used either
as an overall site-design philosophy or in conjunction
with conventional stormwater management practices.
Stormwater Program Management
This track covers many aspects to managing a successful
municipal or industry-specific stormwater program: finding
sources of funding; communicating with the public, elected
officials, the development community, and other government
agencies; and, in many communities, meeting the NPDES
Phase II minimum control measures.
Water-Quality Monitoring
This track focuses on water-quality assessment, monitoring
and sampling techniques, and modeling practices.
Advanced Research Topics
This technical track includes academic research; methods
for testing the effectiveness of and comparing different
BMPs; and topics and trends in stormwater research, such
as standardizing testing protocols and standards for
measuring the effectiveness of BMPs.
Source Control
Most stormwater BMPs are designed to treat pollutants.
This track examines source identification and source
control methods
What is the pre-conference?
These popular, fully accredited
workshops fill early; so don’t miss this opportunity to get the most out
of your conference experience! These special workshops
are open to all attendees of WaterEC and require a separate
fee at registration. The format is highly interactive,
and the sessions and “take-home” materials
are packed with practical
information.
