2007 National Water Conference Proceedings
Thirteen water quality professionals from the land grant universities in the Southwest States and Pacific Islands attended the National Water Quality Conference held in Savannah, Georgia from January 28 – February 1, 2007.

More than 108 oral and 155 poster presentations were viewed by the 497 attendees at this year’s conference. The increasing popularity of this conference has made it one of the most important conferences for scientists and educators interested in water resources held on an annual basis in the USA.

Four concurrent track sessions were used to organize paper and poster presentations at the national conference. The five topic areas were: (1) agricultural best management practices (BMPs), (2) rural environmental protection, (3) watershed assessment and restoration, (4) conservation and resource management, and (5) human dimensions. Several posters were presented this year by coordinators from Region 9: (a) Dave Crisostomo on a Simple Aquaculture System to Imrove Water Efficiency on Small Farms, (b) Ilima Hawkins on Detecting Leptospirosis in Water, and (c) Laosheng Wu on An Integrated Model for Assessing Reclaimed Wastewater Irrigation.
