The
core of the Congress will be six focus groups that will convene
in breakout sessions to discuss Data Administration, Quality Assurance/Quality
Control, Public Outreach, Technology and Technological Solutions,
Ground-water Issues, and GIS Applications and Solutions. Each focus
group will review recommendations made by the 2000 Congress, assess
progress, and develop recommendations for current and future goals
and actions. In addition, volunteers will be recruited to fulfill
or follow-up on the recommendations of the 2002 Congress. The six
focus groups will present and discuss the results from their focus
group to the entire Congress. A compilation of the work from each
focus group will provide recommendations for future water monitoring
activities in Texas.
All
participants will receive the 2002 Congress Proceedings, which will
include the recommendations from the Congress. This document will
also be presented to Legislators and key decision managers in time
for the next Texas legislative session meeting in January 2003.
