Plenary Session

This year the Texas Water Monitoring Council solicited papers for the plenary session. We have selected papers for the Congress. The presentations will cover surface-water and groundwater monitoring, data management, volunteer programs, water education, and other topics of general interest.

Focus Groups/Breakout Sessions

The core of the Congress will be five focus groups that will convene in breakout sessions to discuss Data Administration, Quality Assurance/Quality Control, Public Outreach, Technology and Technological Solutions, Groundwater Issues, and GIS Applications and Solutions. Each focus group will review recommendations made by the 2002 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 2004 Congress. The five 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 2004 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 2005.
