You are invited to the Third Interagency Conference on Research in the Watersheds (ICRW) where scientists, water managers, and stakeholders will come together to present research and discuss how to best reach common goals during our uncertain future. In particular, adaptive management will be presented as an appropriate tool to leverage decision making, science, and monitoring to the benefit of all.
