DEADLINE: JUNE 15, 2015  
To recognize excellence in the use of an IWRM approach to water resources projects, AWRA established this award to recognize outstanding IWRM work on water resources projects. Any consulting, government, nonprofit, or academic organization are encouraged to submit projects for consideration. Learn more ...»

An IWRM approach to water resources has been a hallmark of AWRA since our establishment in 1964. In 2014, 12 projects were nominated for the award. The May issue of our Water Resources IMPACT magazine features not only the 2014 AWRA IWRM Award winner - One Water, One Watershed Program from the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority - but also highlights eight of the other projects nominated for the award "in a contest that was almost too close to call," according to selection committee members. The issue is has been opened for public download for a limited time. 
AWRA Webinar
Integrated Water Resource Planning: Water, Forests, People & Policy  

JULY 16, 2015 | 1pm ET

 

Speaker: Wayne Wright, Sr. Principal, Fisheries & Wetlands Scientist, GeoEngineers  
We are already experiencing the migration of animals and humans with climate shifts. The severity and frequency of wildfires, droughts, floods and ocean acidification are increasing. Impacts to our economy, infrastructure and atmosphere have lead us to difficult choices regarding land use and future policy development to better manage our natural resources. This presentation includes a series of graphics, photos and statements reflective of integrated water resource management, with specific reference to forest management, in a changing climate. Q&A to follow. PDH credit available.

What the Earth would look like if all the ice melted
As National Geographic showed us in 2013, sea levels would rise by 216 feet if all the land ice on the planet were to melt. This would dramatically reshape the continents and drown many of the world's major cities.




Killing the Colorado 

If you've been reading the recent media coverage about the unfolding water crisis in the West, you might think the sole cause is lack of rain, or something to do with climate change. But here's something you probably haven't read:  This crisis is created by man; built over the last century with bad policy, arcane laws and willful ignorance to environmental red flags. That means there are things that can be done, right now, to fix it.
