Proposals to present posters or talks are now being accepted for the Tenth Annual Utah State University (USU) Water Initiative Spring Runoff Conference. The conference, which is slated for April 1–2 at the USU Eccles Conference Center, provides a forum for interdisciplinary sharing and exchange of ideas on water-related issues in Utah and the Intermountain Region extending to all aspects of water science, policy, engineering and management.

The deadline for abstracts is March 3, 2014. Students are strongly encouraged to apply and attend. The conference typically has about 150 participants from regional universities, state and federal agencies and invited national and international speakers. This year’s conference will feature a screening of "Last Call at the Oasis", a documentary about the global water crisis.

The USU Water Initiative is an interdisciplinary collaboration across Utah State University established to foster collegial sharing of water-related research and ideas throughout the campus and community.
