The Water Resources Agency and now Delaware Water Resources Center is involved in hosting, coordinating, and participating in forums, conferences, and workshops related to water resources and GIS locally, regionally, and nationally. From 2001-2009 the Water Resources Agency hosted a series of Water Policy forums at Clayton Hall on the University campus covering a range of water resources topics and issues. Additionally, the Water Resources Agency staff have coordinated and led multiple water resource forums and workshops on- and off-campus. Learn more about these events at the links below.
