SUMMARY:AWRA-WA Annual State Section Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Theme: The Future is Now: How the emerging issues of the recent past have come to define our water-scarce present. \nWhen: Thursday\, October 8\, 2026 \nTime: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM (program); 5:00 – 6:30 PM (networking reception) \nWhere: Mountaineers Seattle Program Center\, 7700 Sand Point Way NE\, Seattle\, WA \nDescription: A quarter of the way through the twenty-first century\, we find ourselves in a changed landscape of water resource management in Washington. Widespread difficulty obtaining new water supplies to support population growth inhibits sustainable and affordable development. New competing demands for water to support clean energy development\, data centers\, and other emergent technologies are stressing existing water supplies and suppliers even further. Meanwhile\, four consecutive years of snowpack drought have fundamentally revised our expectations of future water supply availability. And the increasing occurrence and severity of acute weather events (such as heat domes and atmospheric rivers) have unbalanced the historical hydrograph away from periods of peak demand. \nThe 2026 AWRA-WA State Conference will bring together water professionals\, policymakers\, engineers\, scientists\, lawyers\, students\, and regulators to explore the challenges and opportunities ahead through thought-provoking sessions and candid discussions. \nWhy Attend?   \n\nHear from leading experts and decision-makers shaping Washington’s water future.\nEngage in open conversations to learn from past efforts and shape smarter strategies moving forward.\nGain actionable insights and strategies for navigating uncertainty and change.\nExpand your network with water resource professionals from across the state.\nYour registration includes a 2027 AWRA-WA membership and directly supports chapter events\, student fellowship program\, and this conference.\n\nNew ideas\, new voices\, and diverse expertise are essential right now. Whether you’re just entering the industry or bringing years of expertise\, be part of the conversations shaping the future of water management in Washington State. \nRegistration\, speakers\, and session details are coming soon. \nDownload a PDF of the conference flyer and share across your network!

SUMMARY:Webinar: Water Quality Trading in Oregon and What it  Means for WA State
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 19\, 2026\n12:00 to 1:00 PM PT\n  \nMany rivers in the Pacific Northwest are 303(d) listed for excessive water temperatures threatening ESA listed species. Water temperature TMDLs have been developed for many of these rivers and thermal loading limitations have been put on dischargers. In 2016\, Oregon DEQ launched a water quality trading program to help mitigate thermal impacts\, especially for projects with a nexus to rivers supporting ESA-listed species. Numeric temperature standards in Oregon require rigorous assessment and mitigation of thermal impacts. Initial water quality trading allowed wastewater treatment plants\, through their NPDES Permits\, to develop thermal trading plans to mitigate thermal loading. DEQ is now using this program for projects with a nexus to rivers with ESA listed species\, including new surface water intakes for drinking water\, which must seek a 401 Water Quality Certification for potential thermal impacts. \nThe Washington Department of Ecology issued Water Quality Trading Guidelines in 2011\, but up until March 2018\, when Ecology drafted a short white paper\, there have been no successful trading plans. A recent proposed legislation\, WA HB1290\, focuses on NPDES holders who are discharging into waterbodies with a water temperature TMDL. \nThe talk will cover the OR water quality trading program; its current application to wastewater discharges through NPDES Permits and water withdrawals through the 401 Water Quality Certification process and how it compares to WA’s program and what can be learned for the benefit of WA’s program and recent legislation. \nPresenter:  \nRob Annear\, Senior Principal\, Annear Water Resources \nRob is an environmental engineer with 29 years of experience in hydrodynamic and water quality modeling (1D/2D/3D) across rivers\, reservoirs\, estuaries\, and coastal environments. His work spans regulatory permitting\, TMDLs\, ESA/CERCLA/RCRA/NRDA/FERC compliance\, drinking water\, lake management\, and climate change studies. He has served as an Expert Witness in hydrology\, water rights\, and water resources modeling cases. In addition\, he has 5+ years experience teaching college courses\, and 15+ years teaching water quality modeling workshops. \nParticipation Details: \nYou will receive a link to participate via a Microsoft Teams meeting the day before the event. \nRegistration Fees:\nRegistration is free with a suggested donation of $10. We are non-profit\, and your donation helps us provide events and programming. Thank you for supporting AWRA-WA!

SUMMARY:Society for Freshwater Science
DESCRIPTION:Annual Meeting: May 17–21\, 2026 in Spokane\, WA\n  \nWelcome to SFS 2026\nWe are in a time of rapid and often unpredictable change. Freshwater ecosystems and the organisms that rely on them are threatened by a multitude of interacting stressors. Simultaneously\, human communities that depend upon freshwater ecosystems are struggling to adapt to environmental\, social\, and economic stressors. Members of the Society for Freshwater Science work tirelessly to understand these environmental changes and the associated benefits provided by freshwaters. Meeting these challenges requires the entire freshwater science community and an understanding of what maintains the resilience of freshwater ecosystems\, and how to strengthen ties with the people that live near and depend upon freshwater ecosystems. \nOur 2026 meeting will be held in Spokane\, Washington\, near Spokane Falls\, a historic gathering place since well before European colonization. We are excited to welcome you. Our theme is “Gathering to build resilient watersheds and communities”. We encourage attendees to continue to tell their stories of the wonders of freshwater ecosystems as well as how their work contributes to ecosystem resilience. We also want to challenge attendees to reflect on how we can support the resilience of ourselves and our own scientific and regional communities. We will provide this foundation by hosting plenaries that weave together stories of the interdependence of freshwater ecosystems and humans\, and the responses and resilience of both to issues such as pollution\, dams\, and climate change. We look forward to your contributions. \nJim Hood & Camille McNeely\nAnnual Meeting Co-Chairs\, SFS 2026

SUMMARY:The Pacific Northwest Water Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Pacific Northwest Water Summit\, led by the Idaho Department of Water Resources and Boise State University\, is a new iteration of the annual Idaho Fall Water Supply Meeting. This meeting is held each year to recap the water supply from the previous water year and provide climate and water supply outlook information for the coming water year. Partners from Oregon and Washington will share additional relevant content on impacts felt across the Pacific Northwest during the water year. The end of the meeting will culminate in a networking opportunity for all in-person participants. Catering will be provided for this event. \nCutting-edge innovative water resources research will be shared through presentations and a student poster session. The recap of the water supply from the 2025 Water Year will provide insight on how conditions impacted the build up and melt out of the year’s snowpack\, timing of irrigation demand\, and how much storage water remained by the end of the 2025 Water Year. The outlook information for the coming year will review oceanic conditions and how anomalies in the Pacific could impact the coming year’s snowpack/water supply. This meeting will also incorporate the Annual 2025 Water Year Impacts Survey for the Pacific Northwest. These meetings are critical for identifying vulnerabilities and opportunities to increase drought and climate resilience across economic sectors that are dependent on the region’s water resources. \nNote: The event will be held in person\, but a virtual option will be available for select events for those who cannot attend. In-person attendance is encouraged. \nWhen\nNovember 4\, 2025\, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mountain Time \nSee: https://www.drought.gov/events/pacific-northwest-water-summit-2025-11-04

SUMMARY:Are We Consuming Too Much Groundwater?
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 24th  \n3:10 PM\, Zoom Link Below \nDr. Brian Greaney\, Assistant Professor\, Economics Department\, University of Washington \n  \nAbstract \nThe paper which is joint work with Joe Shapiro and Katherine Wagner. \nWe study the optimality of human groundwater extraction from many of the world’s 3\,400 aquifers. Some prominent aquifers have declining levels because use exceeds recharge. We use remote sensing and administrative data to estimate a dynamic model of water extraction for each aquifer\, recover the discount factor that rationalizes observed groundwater extraction\, and compare it against normative and market benchmarks. We find that 65% to 81% of global aquifers are extracted too rapidly. Inefficient groundwater extraction creates over $3 trillion in global present-value welfare costs—a large magnitude but only a few percent of the total present value we estimate for all aquifers globally. We calculate larger losses from policies that guarantee users constant indefinite water quantities or especially that fully discount future extraction. \n  \nPlease refer to this guide on Joining WSU Zoom Meetings before trying to join the meeting:\nhttps://confluence.esg.wsu.edu/display/KB/Zoom+-+Joining+Meetings+and+Best+Practices \n  \nJoin from PC\, Mac\, Linux\, iOS\, or Android: https://wsu.zoom.us/j/98460683108?pwd=8Xu9y12Lt4brb0JQczGw3i2OBstDY3.1 \nMeeting ID: 984 6068 3108\nPasscode: 784203 \nJoin from WSU Conference Room System (Polycom)\n1.
