The Goal of the Northern California Section of American Water Resources Association (AWRA) is to advance multi-disciplinary water resources education, management, and research. AWRA's membership is multidisciplinary and diversity is its hallmark. It is the professional home of a wide variety of water resources experts including engineers, educators, foresters, biologists, ecologists, geographers, managers, regulators, hydrologists, and attorneys.

The Northern California American Water Resources Association Section is a great way to expand your knowledge of the water resources field. Although experts in any narrow aspect of water resources are important, the dynamic and complex world of water resources in California requires at least a broad understanding of the many various elements of water resources. Every day changes are taking place in State policy, scientific understanding, natural resource system models, regulations, and practices. Participating in the Northern California AWRA Section is a great way to stay updated, be engaged, and meet alot of great people!


Looking to Unwind At Least Once a Month? The NorCal Section unwinds on the 3rd Thursday of every month for happy hour. Our next meeting is at Sophia. The 'indicator hat' is a large white plantation hat and will be worn by Bill Cowan. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Share Information and Join the Discussion in the Water Resources Community

A group of graduate students have developed a SISWEB (Scientific Information Syndication WEBsite) for the Water Community. It is a nice place to find out what is popular (news, articles, papers, videos, images, ...) on the internet among the water community. On this social bookmarking website users can share their bookmarks. This is not a blog - WaterSISWEB is a place for Water Resources professionals to share information. Scientists, researchers, students, and industry professionals can use this free community service to find what is new and popular in the Water Resources area and share, store, organize, and search bookmarks of web pages in this area.

To participate in the website activities (e.g. link posting, voting, commenting, etc.) one needs to register with WaterSISWEB. The registration is totally free and easy.  Simply go to the Water SISWeb website and register.
