National Nonpoint Source Monitoring WorkshopThe 22nd National Nonpoint Source (NPS) Monitoring Workshop will take place on August 23 - 25, 2016 in Salt Lake City, UT. We have 14 concurrent sessions and 2 plenary sessions. The Workshop is an important forum for sharing information and improving communication on controlling and tracking NPS pollution at its source and in receiving water bodies. The focus of the workshop is holistic and includes approaches to assessing and solving problems in watersheds that are largely impacted by NPS pollution. The emphasis will be on integrating resources and skills from the private and public sectors. The sessions are devoted to bringing together individuals from a wide range of backgrounds including science, engineering, business, public policy, education, and community groups.

Utah Water Watch Tier 2 TrainingUWW’s Tier 2 Training will take place on August 10, 9-4 at Park City’s Swaner Eco Center. Lunch will be provided. Volunteers will be trained to work with local watershed coordinators or UT Division of Water Quality scientists to collect high quality data for assessment purposes. Often this work validates water quality improvements, usually by monitoring the effectiveness of specific restoration projects or Best Management Practices.
Tier 2 monitoring requires additional training and a higher level of commitment from a volunteer. If interested, contact the UWW program coordinator for training and opportunities in your local watershed. Tier 2 training meetings provide additional knowledge about monitoring techniques, which follow the Utah DEQ's Standard Operating Procedures.

iFellows Research SymposiumEighteen undergraduate students from universities across the state have spent the past 10 weeks conducting studies alongside some of Utah’s most prominent water scientists as part of the National Science Foundation-funded iUTAH project. They will conclude their summer research experience by presenting the results of their work. The studies cover a broad range of water-related fields, including ecology, sociology, engineering, microbiology and planning. Join undergraduate researchers, faculty advisors, graduate students, and community members to hear about projects ranging from fecal coliforms in three Utah watersheds to harvesting stormwater from rooftops. University Guest House and Conference Center, 110 South Fort Douglas Blvd, University of Utah, 9:00 am- 3:00 pm.
