National Water Quality Monitoring Council National Conference "Monitoring Networks: Connecting for Clean Water"


When:   May 5-11, 2006
Where:  San Jose, CA
What:   The conference will highlight how various networks - including monitoring designs, information exchanges, and the Internet - connect all of us working for clean water. Networks promote and foster the communication, collaboration, and coordination integral to each of the elements of the Council's Framework for Monitoring. Also, the 2006 conference will provide an expanded national forum for volunteer monitoring program coordinators to exchange information, develop skills, and build better networks. Plus, the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program will showcase new findings on the quality of the Nation's streams and groundwater. EPA, States, and others will present experiences and results emerging from collaborations in probability-based surveys like the National Coastal Assessment and the Wadeable Streams Assessment. All of these topics will be well integrated into the conference program, which will include plenary sessions, workshops, oral presentations, posters, exhibits, field trips, and informal networking opportunities.

Whole Earth Festival

When:   May 12-14, 2006
Where:  UC Davis, Davis, CA
What:    The mission of the Whole Earth Festival is to envision and create a community driven festival of education, music, and art.  A safe, educational, and inspiring environment is created not simply just for the three days it is set up on the Quad. They want to develop a conscious community that will go out into the world after the festival and encourage the values that we hold dear. All are equal participants in the conscious creation that is the Whole Earth Festival.
