water and surface water
- Water resource issues associated with forestry and
wildlife
- Instream flow uses - the balance between regulation
and technical requirements, and associated costs
- Applications of new or old data collection technologies
for forecasting and hydrologic analysis
- Advancements in computer modeling of hydrologic systems
in the Arctic
