For those of you who enjoyed The Oregon Water Conference (TOWC) in 2011 we are hoping to resurrect it in Spring 2017. Details are still being worked out.
Want to see some great water research? Don't forget the OSU Hydrophiles' Water Research Symposium. This year's Water Research Symposium will be 26-28 April 2015 at the CH2M Hill Alumni Center at OSU. Registration is free and the event is open to the public.
