1      The Integrated Assessment of Surface Watergroundwater interactions across a myriad of spatial scales
2      Flood Risk – Connecting the dots from hazard to decision-making.
3      Frozen in the (Infiltration) Trenches: Verifying Cold Climate Green infrastructure Performance
4      Uniting the Country – Sharing Flood Mapping and Flood Risk Approaches across Canada
5      Advancing hydrological forecasting systems across Canada
6      Fireside chat with Senior CWRA Members
7      Designing for nature in riparian areas – Striking a balance between infrastructure and the environment
8      CSHS Session: Advances in hydrologic and hydraulic modelling
9      CSHS Session: Advances in monitoring our water resources
10    CSHS Session: Environmental flows in Canada and abroad
11    CSHS Session: Use of R in Canadian hydrology
12    Nature-Based Infrastructure for Steep Slopes in Cold Climates
13    Surface water – groundwater interactions with a changing climate

Getting There and Away

CWRA is not responsible for delegate transportation, however, we do have some suggested sites that may help with your travel plans.  This list will be updated as information becomes available.  Our hope is that all attendees will carpool (or alternative) when possible to reduce the overall conference carbon footprint.
