Latest Research on Water Science, Economics and Law To Be Featured October 12, 2007

University of Nebraska-Lincoln researchers will present their latest water-related research and programming in the areas of water science, economics, and law Friday, Oct. 12 at Hardin Hall on UNL’s East Campus.

"This will be a fast-paced, day long event with dozens of oral and poster presentations by faculty researchers and students.  Many of the presentations focus on Nebraska-based research and programming, said Lorrie Benson, senior program manager for UNL’s Water Resources Research Initiative.

"The water colloquium is a great way to learn about an extensive body of university water-related research and programming in a short amount of time,” said UNL Water Center director and WRRI co-leader Kyle Hoagland.

The day concludes with a tour of the newly refurbished UNL Water Sciences Laboratory, which is considered one of the top three water analytical laboratories in the United States.

More information on the colloquium and laboratory tour, including an agenda and registration information, will be available by September and can be found online at watercenter.unl.edu. Registration brochures will also be mailed. For more information contact Benson at (402) 472-7372 or email lbenson2@unl.edu.

UNL’s Water Center, WRRI and Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources are sponsoring the event.
