We had excellent technical sessions on Agricultural Hydrology and Management, Groundwater Modeling, Agricultural Watershed Modeling, Groundwater Quality, Mining Impact on Groundwater and Surface Water, Urban Water Quality, Surface Water Quality, and Measuring, Monitoring, and Managing Water Resources. The Dinner Speaker was Steve Swenson from the Aldo Leopold Foundation who gave a wonderful presentation on Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic in Our Time.

​Distinguished Service Award
This year we were proud to present the Distinguished Service Award to David Mechenich of the Center for Watershed Science and Education at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. This award recognizes his 25 years of exemplary service on behalf of the section, research colleagues, students, and the international community of hydrologists. David has been the driving force for developing and maintaining the Central Wisconsin Groundwater Center well water quality database which contains nearly 700,000 test results from over 80,000 well water samples. He created the interactive Wisconsin Well Water Quality viewer that integrates easy public access of databases from the Groundwater Center, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Groundwater Retrieval Network, and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection. David, thank you for your service, and congratulations!
