University of Florida, Water Institute - Upcoming Meetings & Conferences
Ensuring adequate water of sufficient quality is a pressing need for society as development pressures stress existing supplies. Competing demands for water require non-traditional solutions that must balance economic, environmental, and social factors.

The mission of the University of Florida Water Institute is to meet this need by fostering interdisciplinary research, education, and public outreach programs designed to:

• Improve knowledge of the physical, chemical, and biological processes in aquatic systems (rivers, lakes, oceans, estuaries, wetlands, and ground waters).

• Enhance understanding of how human activities and attitudes affect aquatic systems.

• Develop and promote the adoption of improved methodologies for water management and policy development based on a strong background in water-related sciences, engineering, management and law.
