DC Area Water Issues Program (DCAWIP) – offered by UDC’s College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability and Environmental Sciences (CAUSES) — is a comprehensive set of university events open to all DC Area students, faculty, water managers, and members of the general public who are interested in water. DCAWIP is a multi-disciplinary program, exploring issues related to the science and engineering, policy, and socioeconomic aspects of water and watersheds in the DC area. Funded by the US Geological Survey (USGS) through DC Water Resources Research Institute (DCWRRI), this Program was developed with the goal of creating a more cohesive water research community in the DC area.
The Weekly Seminar is one of several DCAWIP activities being hosted by CAUSES during the Fall 2010 semester. Every Thursday, speakers from water “stakeholder” organizations will provide insightful, practical information about local water issues and their role in the water community. Seminars will take place Thursdays, 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM, at UDC’s Van Ness campus (4200 Connecticut Ave., N.W., near the UDC/Van Ness Metro Station), with sponsored refreshments and community building to follow.
Attached is the schedule for August/September, as well as directions.
