StormCon 2010 Call for Papers

Posted By Janice Kaspersen 1 Comment

The StormCon 2010 Call for Papers is now open. StormCon is the only North American event dedicated exclusively to stormwater and surface-water professionals: municipal stormwater and public works managers, engineering consultants, regulatory personnel, watershed management professionals, and others concerned with stormwater and surface-water quality.

StormCon is seeking abstracts in five conference tracks:
• BMP Case Studies
• Low-Impact Development
• Stormwater Program Management
• Water-Quality Monitoring
• Advanced Research Topics

Presentations are 30 minutes long, and if your abstract is accepted, your paper will be published in the conference proceedings. You can see details of each track and submit your abstract online at www.StormCon.com. The deadline for abstract submissions is December 2, 2009.

The conference will be held August 1 – 5, 2010, in San Antonio, Texas.

Hello Janice, Best regards from Mexico. I attended StormCon for the second time since 2008. The intention was to get a better understanding on how the industrial sector in the US is solving stormwater management issues in terms of sustainable urban development. Our company (STAYD, S.A. de C.V.) has dedicated the last 5 years on analizing the big water issues in Mexico, specially as for stormwater concerns. As there is an urgent need to resolve, we have been working with Federal and State authorities in order to push enforced regulations on runoff control, cleaning stormwater, and acuifers recharge. There are some important achievements on regulations in some of the most important cities in Mexico, however, education and communication seem to be the main issues to be solved in the short term. EVERYTHING is still to be done. Mexico is just opening eyes on stormwater issues and needs, and therefore there is an important market to be attended for those companies interested on expanding their opportunities by means of supplying technologies and services. I was wondering if, by showing current situation in Mexico (issues and needs), as well as some suggestions on how the US stormwater industry could have the right approach to this market, could be interesting for the conference. The title of this presentation would be "Opportunities for BMP's in Mexico" and it would include a general view of the current situation, potential market estimation, progress on regulations, and some mechanisms for US companies to approach this market. Maybe it could be inserted on the BMP Case studies section. I thank you very much for your attention. Appreciate before hand your comments on this inquiry. Look forward keeping in touch at this blog section. Best regards from Monterrey, MX.
