I would like to welcome you to the Alaska Section, AWRA, Northern Region and our information resources on the World Wide Web (WWW). Our meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month from noon to 1:00pm at the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) large-conference room. Jim Vohden, DNR, has again helped in setting up our meeting space. You can find the DNR building at the north-west corner of the Airport Way and University Avenue intersection. The address for the DNR building is 3700 Airport Way and a public information number is 451-2705. Our meetings are held September through March and our annual state meeting is held in April of each year. The northern region membership includes faculty, staff, and students of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, federal and state government, and private industry water-resource professionals. We hope you can come to our monthly meetings and bring a colleague. For more information on water resources in the Fairbanks area, see the UAF Water and Environmental Research Center web site.
