About GWRC
Since its inception in 1989, the biennial Georgia Water Resources Conference has provided an open forum for the discussion of water policies and management strategies within the state of Georgia.
In 2021, the conference featured 24 posters and more than 200 panel discussions and presentations and was attended by over 300 participants. Attendees were comprised of environmental and water professionals; local, state and federal agency representatives; watershed organizations; researchers, students, public service and faculty/extension agents and educators.
2023 GWRC
This year, the conference will feature 10 panels, 130 talks, and nearly 50 posters. Almost 30% of our talks and 75% of our posters will be presented by students.
We look forward to gathering in-person again for the 2023 Georgia Water Resources Conference!
