Water resources and related research are the focus of the 2024 Texas A&M Water Day on March 27 at Rudder Tower and the Memorial Student Center on the Texas A&M University campus in Bryan/College Station.
Texas A&M Water Day is hosted by the Texas A&M College of Arts and Sciences Water Management and Hydrological Science Program and the Texas Water Resources Institute, a unit of Texas A&M AgriLife Research that brings together expertise from across Texas A&M AgriLife.
Through a poster competition and lecture on water resources, the event will highlight water-related research from engineering, agriculture and earth science fields and provide students with invaluable networking opportunities and research communication experience.
Poster displays and judging will be held from 9 a.m.-noon at the Memorial Student Center in the 12th Man Hall. The water lecture and poster award ceremony will begin at 2:30 p.m. in Rudder Tower, Room 501.
Registration is required for students submitting research posters as well as lecture attendees and is available at https://tx.ag/WaterDay2024. The deadline for registration and poster abstract submission is March 18 at 11:59 p.m.
Poster submission eligibility
Both undergraduate and graduate students can present posters at the event, but only graduate students are eligible for the poster competition and monetary prize due to funding source requirements.
To be eligible for the poster competition, students must:
- Be a graduate student at Texas A&M or Texas A&M University at Galveston.
- Have at least one semester remaining in their current graduate program.
- Be enrolled in eligible study areas including engineering hydrology, stochastic hydrology, coastal hydrology, water quality, watershed management, hydrogeology, hydrologic techniques in water resources planning, climatology and public policy.
The poster competition awards are funded by the W.G. Mills Memorial Fellowship in Hydrology, established to promote the development and conservation of water resources in Texas and develop leadership for tomorrow’s water resources managers.
