Iowa Water Conference March 9-10, Ames This year the Iowa Water Conference will include multiple half-day tracks designed for urban planners, farmers, and scientists, while the plenary presentations will focus on what we have learned from the 2008 flood and address best science, social, and economic based strategies to avoid similar outcomes in the future. Dr. Gerald Galloway, who led the White House sanctioned review committee assessing the causes of the 1993 Mississippi River floods, will be there. Dr Galloway will lead discussion on how well recommendations were followed and barriers to implementing them in the future. Tom Schueler of the Chesapeake Stormwater Network will also be presenting on building partnerships between local, statewide and regional groups in addition to an urban hydrology plenary session.
