In Person at WSSC Headquarters, Laurel, MD
9:00 am - 3:30 pm
This is a free event; however, registration is required and seating is limited.
This workshop will provide a state of the science on source water challenges and their applicability to the DWSPP. We will identify, develop, and prioritize short-term and long-term research opportunities for the DWSPP for future funding.
Workshop Goals and Objectives:
- To identify source water challenges and their applicability to the DWSPP
- To identify and prioritize short-term and long-term research opportunities for the DWSPP.
- To discuss the potential for research to be funded through WRF Facilitated Research
