We have an exciting week filled with presentations on the latest water resources topics, and pro-viding opportunities for networking and building our professional community.The 2014 conference marks AWRA’s 50th anniversary. On this auspicious occasion, it is timely to reflect onthe state of water resources management in the United States: What was the state of water management whenAWRAwas formed? How has water management evolved as AWRAhas matured into a premier water resourcesorganization? What challenges and opportunities lay ahead for water management, for AWRA, and the waterresources profession? This conference provides a unique opportunity for myriad water resource professionals togather and reflect on the history of water management over the past 50 years and to see the latest work on thepolicy and science of water management that will help shape the future.Our technical program begins Monday, November 3, with an outstanding Plenary Session in two parts: firstwith a Keynote Address by Dr. Kathryn Sullivan, Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere,National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, followed by a high-impact Plenary Panel on 21st CenturyWater Resource Challenges with Major General John Peabody, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; Lynn Scarlett, The Nature Conservancy;John Anderson, U.S. House of Representatives; and George Hawkins, District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority; and moderatedby Dr. Jerry Delli Priscoli, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Institute for Water Resources.

Theirapproach involves picking eight strategically targeted clusters of sub-watersheds, developing shared plans that align conservation workwithin those clusters, and measuring the impact of the work on water quality.In total, the eight cluster plans identifying $230 million needed for conservation, restoration, outreach, and monitoring to make meas-urable headway on water quality over the next three years. The goal is not only to improve water quality within the selected watershedclusters, but to replicate the results and lessons learned in other sub-watersheds across the Delaware Basin and beyond. The WilliamPenn Foundation (WPF) has already invested $35 million towards this work, including efforts to permanently protect more than 30,000acres that are critical for clean water; implement more than forty restoration projects that will improve local water quality and providereplicable models for others; and develop long-term water quality data for the watershed. The panel will consist of representatives from the five major organizations responsible for coordinating the work of over 50 partners:the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, the Open Space Institute, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the Instituteof Conservation Leadership, and the William Penn Foundation. Each panel member will provide a short summary of their organization'sperspective with the majority of time available for questions and dialog.SESSION 2 • SPECIAL SESSION • GREAT FALLS ROOMPANEL: SOCIAL SCIENCE AND EMERGING CONTAMINANTS-1MODERATOR • TAMARA NEWCOMER-JOHNSONNATIONAL SEA GRANT OFFICE • SILVER SPRING, MARYLANDPANELISTSDANA KOLPINRESEARCH HYDROLOGIST AND HEAD OF THE EMERGING ISSUES IN WATER QUALITY PROJECTU.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY • IOWA CITY, IOWALAURA KAMMINPOLLUTION PREVENTION EXTENSION SPECIALIST WITH ILLINOIS-INDIANA SEA GRANTDISPOSAL OF UNWANTED MEDICINES TOOLKIT • URBANA, ILLINOISKRISTI HENDERSONACTING ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF THE AMERICAN VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION'S (AVMA)SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES DIVISION • SCHAUMBURG, ILLINOISJENNIFER LAMWATERSHED AND INVASIVE SPECIES EDUCATION RESEARCH ANALYST • OREGON SEA GRANT • CORVALLIS, OREGONAWRA has featured the science, discovery, monitoring, fate, treatment and possible ecosystem impacts of chemicals of emerging con-cern (CEC's). Researchers studying CEC's often express the needs to address the importance of the social dimensions to pollution pre-vention. This panel examines trends in the education, outreach, social and policy dimensions to pollution prevention for an emerginggroup of contaminants--pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and their mixtures detected in water resources. Whilepharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) help people and animals live healthier lives, their use comes with unforeseen con-sequences when they enter waters and watersheds through excretion and disposal. Studies in North America and abroad have identi-fied pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in rivers, lakes, coastal waters, groundwater, sewage wastewater, landfillleachate, soils, air, and plant and animal tissues. The effects of PPCPs are different from conventional pollutants. Pharmaceuticals arepurposefully designed for bioactivity and therapy at low concentrations. There is growing scientific evidence that even the low concen-trations of PPCPs currently detected in US waterways can have unintended adverse effects on aquatic organisms. Some of the PPCPcontaminants are known endocrine disruptors, possible human carcinogens, or contribute to antibiotic resistance. Human excretion anddisposal through flushing into the wastewater stream, animal feed lots, pets, aquaculture and septic systems are key sources discharg-ing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). Wastewater treatment technologies can remove some pharmaceuticals fromwastewater, but these technologies are expensive to build and operate and they often lag the development of new classes of drugs.Survey-based studies in California and France indicate that between 40-50% of all prescribed and over-the-counter medications pur-chased by consumers go unused. Although only 10-30% of this unused portion is reportedly flushed, drug take-back programs, whilehelpful, are a limited solution. This presents a growing potential future risk to water resources, as these unused medicines accumulatewith existing consumers and the demand for pharmaceuticals is increasing with an aging demographic. Educating consumers and healthcare professionals about more effective PPCP use and methods to generate less PPCP waste, in part through proper disposal of phar-maceuticals, are important strategies for reducing PPCP flows into watershed. However, current practices mostly emphasize ecologi-cally friendly ways to dispose of unwanted PPCP's vs. source reduction. From a PPCP product lifecycle perspective, current programsemphasize the downstream "Discharge and Disposal" stage, without fully understanding the upstream production and prescription stage,driving "Uses" that create these PPCP flows. Our panel will also examine barriers to developing state and nationwide PPCP pollutionprevention strategies, and actions. Leadership is needed for product stewardship and there are questions regarding who is financiallyresponsible. Social analysis of the consumers and health care professionals that contribute to PPCP flows may help us to identify addi-tional and/or better points to control or reduce the discharge and disposal of pharmaceuticals. Incorporating social science and educa-tion can enhance ecotoxicology research and help prioritize monitoring of water resources based on human decision points and triggersto behaviors.AWRA’s 50th Anniversary Conference 11 Monday, November 3SESSION 3 • POTOMAC ROOMCLIMATE CHANGE-1MODERATOR • VENKATARAMANA SRIDHAR • VIRGINIA TECH • BLACKSBURG, VIRGINIA1:30 P.M.

For the most part, water allocation law is state law, not feder-al law, although federal law comes into play in regard to water on federal lands and Indian reservations and in Federal reservoirs.Eastern states generally employ the riparian doctrine for streams. Western states use the prior appropriation doctrine. Several ground-water allocation doctrines create a patchwork across the country. These doctrines have undergone many changes over the last 50 years-increasing legislative regulation in the east, and changes in the west derived from the Public Trust Doctrine, environment and wildlifeconcerns, and the need to preserve instream flows. Creation of critical groundwater areas in some western states attempts to slowdepletion of groundwater. States share river basins, which has led to interstate water disputes with states entering into interstate watercompacts or seeking resolution in the U.S. Supreme Court or Congress. One way to learn about these differences and developments isto hear about experiences in specific states in different parts of the country. This special session will include four speakers. Three speak-ers will describe 50-years of the legal aspects of water resources management in their respective states. The fourth speaker will discussinterstate water conflicts. Panel moderator John Peck, professor of law at the University of Kansas School of Law, will begin with a briefoverview of U.S. hydrology and geography and the various water law doctrines employed for rivers and groundwater. Law professorJames May of Delaware's Widener University School of Law will describe water allocation law in Delaware, a small eastern state thatborders the Delaware River, the Delaware Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. Professor Peck will cover the water allocation law of Kansas, alarge, great plains state located on the borderline between the eastern, precipitation-rich states and the western, arid states. His primaryfocus will be groundwater management issues in the vast High-Plains Aquifer due to the extensive use of groundwater in westernKansas. Describing water law developments in the large mountain state of Montana will be Irma Russell, past-dean and now professorat the University of Montana School of Law. Montana has mountain streams, large rivers, groundwater, extensive Federal land holdings,and Indian reservations. Lastly, Burke Griggs, Consulting Professor at the Bill Lane Center for the American West at Stanford Universityand a special assistant attorney general for the State of Kansas, will provide insight into the resolution of disputes in several interstateriver basins across the country.SESSION 14 • SPECIAL SESSION • POTOMAC ROOMNORTH AMERICAN STREAM HYDROGRAPHERS (NASH) - HYDROMETRIC COMPUTATIONSMODERATOR • JANICE FULFORD • U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY • STENNIS SPACE CENTER, MISSISSIPPI8:30 A.M.

Think of the changes: from a few communities adopting local showerhead ordinances to nationwide plumbing standardsand over half of U.S. states with water conservation planning requirements; from bricks in the toilet to ultra low flow fixtures; from moti-vating customers with "shower with a friend" to customized online water use calculators. Where water and energy efficiency were oncetreated as separate programs with different rationales, recent research on the energy-water nexus has prompted more joint programsand a national conversation about their relationship. Once, utilities questioned whether water efficiency programs help or hinder in timeof drought. Now, water efficiency is looked to as one prime tool in climate change adaptation. Water efficiency is much less seen assomething just for western U.S. cities. Today some of the most innovative practices are being undertaken by east coast communities.The role of more efficient water use in the health of a watershed is also an emerging topic, and the environmental benefits of specificwater efficiency practices are being noted. State and federal policy has kept pace with the increasing need for more efficient water use,its role in a watershed, and its relationship to other pressing issues of our day. Yet clearly even greater adoption of more efficient wateruse policies and programs will be needed in the future, and there's several ways to get there. This presentation will describe the adop-tion of water efficiency policies and measures then and now, identify trends, and suggest some alternative futures and possible gov-ernment responses as more efficient water use becomes an imperative throughout the US. Both federal and state policies, as well aslocal efficiency programs and codes, will be addressed, though the focus for the future will be on national policy. Representatives ofleading water utility programs, researchers, and environmental groups will discuss these issues.SESSION 20 • SPECIAL SESSION • POTOMAC ROOMNORTH AMERICAN STREAM HYDROGRAPHERS (NASH) –HYDROMETRIC TECHNIQUES AND METHODSMODERATOR • STUART HAMILTON • NASH • VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA10:30 A.M.

This is the third of three panels featuring authors of these essays.During AWRA’s 50 years of existence, water research has led to faster, more efficient ways of addressing water resources problems withthe development and use of models of all kinds, of miniaturization of equipment, of real time transmission and availability of data, andof instrumentation that allows the analysis of hitherto undetectable contaminants among many other technical advances. Looking to thefuture, panel members will discuss these changes and look at research that is needed to meet future challenges. Debra Knopman willfocus on the challenge of structuring, conducting and presenting interdisciplinary research on systems that, due to climate change, arecharacterized by pervasive uncertainties. Joan Rose will detail the need for innovative methods of in situ and remote sensing that bringtogether pollution science and other disciplines that include our engineered infrastructure. Gerry Galloway will speculate on the waterresources future if more attention is not given to the basics, data gathering, monitoring, assessment, flood mapping, infrastructureimprovement for surface water, groundwater, emerging contaminants, and coastal erosion. Michael Campana will discuss the need formanaging groundwater as a component of an integrated system and for continued research into determining exactly how much ground-water we have, where it is located and if it can be recovered.SESSION 26 • SPECIAL SESSION • POTOMAC ROOMNORTH AMERICAN STREAM HYDROGRAPHERS (NASH) – HYDROMETRIC UNCERTAINTYMODERATOR • STUART HAMILTON • NASH • VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA1:30 P.M.

Fort and Bateman will focus on the need for potential law and policy changes while Mehanand Michelsen will discuss the economics of water and whether the current system of water pricing will need to be changed to meetfuture needs and what changes might be needed.SESSION 32 • SPECIAL SESSION • POTOMAC ROOMPANEL: NASH – DISCHARGE MEASUREMENTS: NEEDS FOR IMPROVINGTHE ESTIMATE OF MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTYMODERATOR • JANICE FULFORD • U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY • STENNIS SPACE CENTER, MISSISSIPPIPANELISTSFRANK WEBER • HYDROMETEOROLOGIC FIELD PROGRAMS SCIENTIST • BC HYDRO • VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADAJUAN GONZALEZ • STREAMGAUGING SECTION LEAD • SFWMD • WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDAKEVIN OBERG • HYDROLOGIST • OFFICE OF SURFACE WATER • U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY • URBANA, ILLINOISBRIAN WAHLIN • SENIOR HYDRAULIC ENGINEER • WEST CONSULTANTS • TEMPE, ARIZONA(NASH) Discharge measurements of water are used by water managers, land use planners, engineers and hydrologists to make deci-sions concerning water allocations, flood risks, zoning, flood structures, and bridges. The quality and uncertainty of discharge meas-urements affect the level of confidence in the decisions made on the basis of those discharge measurements. The panel will discusswhether alternative methods for estimating the uncertainty of discharge measurements could yield more robust estimates than thoseafforded by current approaches.

The January 2014 issue of Water Resources IMPACT celebrated the 50th birthday of AWRAwith aseries of essays on the future of water resources in the United States. This is the second of three panels featuring authors of theseessays. During AWRA’s 50 years of existence, like water policy, water management in the United States at all levels has undergone pro-found changes. Drought has continued to plague various areas of the United State sometimes for prolonged periods. Flood manage-ment has improved significantly but monetary losses have continued to increase. Advances in irrigation technologies have led to a lev-eling of water use but agricultural chemicals continue to contaminate the nation’s waters. Population in coastal zones continues toincrease at the same time as coastal erosion continues. Wilhite will discuss the need for drought mitigation measures and need for effec-tive drought management policies. Riley will focus on flood risk reduction measures and need for increased public awareness. Connorwill provide insight agricultural conservation practices and the ease of use and cost effectiveness of these practices. Fitch will relate suchthings as ocean acidification and the impacts on freshwater resources in coastal areas from sea level rise to increasing coastal zonepopulations.

This session will focus on large scale changes at the basin and sub-basin level as variousprotection/restoration strategies are applied. Among methods that will be discussed, the urban growth model SLEUTH (Slope, Landcover, Exclusion, Urbanization, Transportation, and Hillshade) has been used to assess projected water quality and availability impactsfrom climate change, population growth and/or specific development scenarios at basin and regional scales. The panel will also high-light development of the basin-scale application of the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model, particularly to better understandpotential impacts on landcover/water quality from such changes as potentially lifting the Marcellus shale development moratorium and/orfrom complete (re)forestation of riparian buffer zones. In addition, the discussion will include use of "Model My Watershed", a WIKIwatershed product, to model large scale scenarios and to bridge the gap from basin scale to site scale. The discussion will include theways in which models can be used together synergistically, and as a management tools for basin-scale policy decisions. There will bespecific discussion of modeling the value of gree
