What is the Virtual Water Symposium?
The U of M Water Network inaugural 2023 Virtual Poster Symposium is a virtual gathering of waters scholars sharing their wisdom and discoveries under the themes of: Big Water (Mississippi & Red Rivers, Great Lakes, Groundwater, etc.); Engineered Water (Drinking, Waste, Storm, Urban, Reuse, etc.); Smart Water (Remote Sensing, Big Data, Computational, AI, Low-cost DIY, etc.); Challenged Water (Agriculture, Climate, Culture, Society, Ecosystems, Green Water, Food, Groundwater, etc.); and Social Water (Culture, Society, Value of water, Water justice & equity, etc.).
No registration required, no fee, and everyone inside and outside the University is welcome! We hope to see you there!
