Meeting Highlights
The 37th annual meeting of the Wisconsin section of the American Water Resources Association was held March 7 - 8, 2013 at the Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel, Brookfield. There were 208 hundred registrants who attended the meeting which included 36 oral presentations and 33 posters. The theme of the meeting was "Managing Wisconsin's Urban Water Resources". In support of this theme Mike Hahn, chief environmental engineer with the Southeast Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, Kevin Shafer, executive director with Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District, and William Holahan, UW - Milwaukee professor of economics emeritus gave plenary talks on urban water management from a water supply perspective, urban water management from a wastewater/stormwater/watercourse perspective, and the value and socioeconomics of water and water related decisions, respectively. Bradley Eggold, Southern Lake Michigan Fisheries Supervisor, Wisconsin DNR, was the dinner speaker and he discussed the Root River steelhead facility. We had excellent technical sessions on methods for characterizing and managing urban runoff, evaluating lakes, characterizing impacts of agricultural runoff, and groundwater modeling.

Distinguished Service Award
This year we were proud to present the Distinguished Service Award to Randall Hunt of the United States Geological Survey. This award recognizes his exemplary service on behalf of the section, research colleagues, students, and the international community of hydrologists. His research covers a broad range of groundwater-surface water systems including wetland, stream, and lake interactions. The vast body of research by Randy is well documented in 124 publications that illustrate his willingness to share his hydrology expertise with others. He has mentored numerous graduate students and many former students are regular contributors to annual AWRA meetings. As a regular attendee of the AWRA - WI Section annual meetings, Randy is routinely called upon to give the final oral presentation of the meeting. He typically delivers with a report on the state-of-the-science with a mixture of informative lecture, historical significance, and witty humor. Thank you, Randy, and congratulations!
