The organizing committee of the 2019 Watershed Congress Along The Schuylkill River has issued a call for presentation proposals. The deadline for submissions is October 31.
The Watershed Congress will be held on March 9 at the Montgomery County Community College campus in Pottstown.
The objective of the Watershed Congress is to advance the best available information and techniques for protecting and restoring watersheds. The focus on networking across disciplines means that the Congress melds science, policy and practical applications into one program.
The committee has recommended presentations on nearly 40 possible topics, but all suggestions will be considered. Among the recommended topics are--
-- Green Infrastructure
-- Climate Change And Watershed Impacts
-- MS4 Stormwater Pollution
-- Riparian Buffers
-- Carbon Credits
-- Volunteer Building
-- Funding Options
The Congress is organized by the Delaware Riverkeeper Network and its partner organizations as well as private individuals.
