WELCOME TO PORTLAND, OREGON, AND TO THEAMERICAN WATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION’S

2017 ANNUAL WATER RESOURCES CONFERENCE

Since assembling the preliminary program for the 2017 AWRA Annual Conference, we've seen the devastation of hurricanes,droughts, fires, floods, and seismic events across North America and the Caribbean. The scale and scope of these events on the phys-ical landscape and the human psyche have been enormous. As we write this, the 3.5 million residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands and theCommonwealth of Puerto Rico are frightened about their future as they struggle with immediate problems of no drinking water, no power,no gas, and diminishing food supplies.

We welcome you, fellow water resource professionals, for a week of reflection and renewal in Portland, Oregon. We have the break-out discussions, committee rooms, and social events arranged, ready to connect you with colleagues and information. We invite you toengage in timely discussion around resiliency, data, science, engineering, governance, public policy, communication, education, andyes, compassion and concern. Beyond that, we invite you to renew links with colleagues and forge new ones, growing and strengthen-ing the fabric of the water resources profession.

The excitement will commence even before the conference officially opens. Sunday will feature two events unique to the PacificNorthwest: a drone workshop on the banks of the Columbia River and a field trip to Clean Water Services' renowned LandscapeConservation Program in the Tualatin River watershed.

'Plenary' will be the Monday morning mantra. Eric Quaempts, Natural Resources Director of the Confederated Tribes of the UmatillaIndian Reservation, will deliver a thoughtful keynote address, followed by Timothy Palmer's photo tour of the 50th anniversary of theFederal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. A series of five-minute lightning talks, previewing the week's presentations, will conclude the morn-ing.

The Monday evening Welcome Reception will provide an opportunity to visit student and professional posters, a gallery of art, indus-try exhibitors, and a silent auction designed to benefit AWRA's student scholarships - The Richard A. Herbert Memorial EducationalFund.

Throughout the week, we offer 70 technical sessions, provocative panels, six technical committee meetings, two Lunch & Learns,and social events that include Tuesday's dinner at the nascent Portland Food Hall, a student and early career networking opportunityon Wednesday, and a fun run Thursday morning.

All the above plus Portland's legendary ambiance! ..... Welcome to Rip City!

GRAB & GO LUNCH & LEARNINTEGRATED MODELING, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND WATER POLICY IN THE WILLAMETTE BASIN

THURSDAY • NOVEMBER 9 • 12:00 NOON-1:15 P.M. • WEYERHAEUSER ROOMPRESENTERS: ADELL AMOS (UNIVERSITY OF OREGON) AND WILLIAM JAEGER (OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY)

The Willamette River Basin is a water-rich region, but with a warming climate and increasing socio-economic pressures that may notalways be the case. The Willamette Water 2100 (WW2100) Project examined how climate change, population growth, and economicgrowth will alter the availability and use of water in coming decades, using the example of the Willamette River Basin (WRB), Oregon.The model developed for this purpose has high spatial and temporal resolution and includes detailed representations of economic andbiophysical subsystems. The goals of the study were twofold: 1) to understand where and when water scarcity may arise, and to rec-ognize the factors contributing to, and those that could potentially mitigate, future water scarcity; and 2) to assess the importance of rep-resenting a high level of system detail to gain insights into emerging water scarcity. The primary tool used in WW2100 was a modelingframework developed at Oregon State University called Willamette Envision. This framework integrated hydrologic, ecological, andhuman economic-systems submodels in the context of drivers such as climate change, population increase and income growth. Thegeneral approach employed in WW2100 can be used in basins around the world.

KEVIN G. COULTONKEVIN G. COULTON PHOTOGRAPHY, TROUTDALE, OREGONWWW.KEVIN-COULTON.COM"POLLUTION IN ABSTRACT" MINI-EXHIBItKevin Coulton is a Portland area photographer, and consulting water resources engineer, who begana grassroots effort in 1990 to educate the public about stormwater pollution and prevention usingart and this resulted in the "Pollution in Abstract" photographic series. The close-up abstract andavant-garde photographs of stormwater pollution are intended to attract and then educate viewers tothis ubiquitous environmental problem. Kevin estimates the amount of oil, gasoline, and other pollu-tants dripped from the 250 million vehicles in the U.S. is more than the oil spilled during the 2010 GulfOil Spill every year! Over the past 27 years, he has had over 40 public and gallery exhibitions ofhis “Pollution in Abstract” photography series, given public presentations, appeared on TV, and hashad his photography published in newspapers, magazines, and books. He has also written about hiswork with editorials published in newspapers and magazines, and has won awards from the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency.

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian ReservationPendleton, Oregon

Connecting Community, Water Management, and Science

Aligning water management efforts with community values, while maintaining scientific integrity, is a challenge we all face – perhapsmore now than in any time in recent history. In this Keynote, Eric Quaempts presents a unique example of the Umatilla Tribe’s 10-yearapproach to achieve alignment, using a river vision not only inspired by tribal community traditional foods, but grounded in science. Thisgraphics-rich keynote will set the stage for AWRA’s 2017 Annual Conference with a call for an increased commitment to science and areminder that thoughtfully and closely relating our efforts to the communities we serve can strengthen not only our work but also stake-holder understanding and support.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HOURS (PDHS)AWRA has instituted a self-reporting system for Professional Development Hours (PDHs). (AWRA is no longer offering CEUs.)To meet education requirements for license renewal, conference attendees should report their session attendance directly to theirlicensing organizations. AWRA will provide, at its registration desk, self-reporting forms that can be used to acquire signatures ofsession moderators.

Please note that self-reporting is an honor system. It places the onus on the individual to report PDHs to their licensing body. TheAWRA forms are furnished as a convenience to conference attendees.

THE FOLLOWING CAVEATS APPLY TO THIS PDH POLICY

(1) AWRA will not notify the licensing organizations concerning earned PDHs. This will be up to the attendee.(2) AWRA will not keep session records or enter PDHs in its record keeping system.(3) Most importantly, AWRA cannot guarantee acceptance of the PDHs by licensing boards.

Because self-reporting reduces AWRA administrative costs, AWRA will not charge a fee for those wishing to obtain PDHs.

ALYSSA MUCKEN • INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES STRATEGY • SALEM, OREGON

As states and local water managers grapple with a limited and changing water supply, improving reservoir management and operationshas become an even more important water management strategy. Many federal reservoir projects developed by the U.S Army Corpsof Engineers were built primarily for flood control; however, it's not uncommon for such projects to be authorized for other uses, such asirrigation, water supply, hydropower, recreation, water quality, and fish and wildlife. In recent years, several states and local agencieshave been looking for ways to better balance flood control and water supply needs. This panel presentation will touch upon the science,management, and legal underpinnings of accessing water behind federal storage projects. Speakers will cover efforts to test 'Forecast-Informed Reservoir Operations' at Lake Mendocino in California, Oregon's efforts to evaluate the feasibility of reallocating federallystored water in the state's most populated river basin, and the challenges facing North Dakota as it tries to access natural flows withinfederal projects in the Missouri River basin.

MODERATOR • JERAD BALESCUAHSI (CONSORTIUM OF UNIVERSITIES FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF HYDROLOGIC SCIENCE, INC.) • CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS

Topical Session: This session will present the findings from a recent Aspen Data Dialogue report: INTERNET OF WATER: Sharing andIntegrating Water Data for Sustainability. Currently, we are unable to answer fundamental questions about the quantity, quality, and useof water systems in a timely way. The data often exist to answer these questions, but are not open or easily shared across platforms.Just as the internet links together people, news, information, ideas, etc., with near instantaneous speed, the “Internet of Water” wouldideally enable the connection and transmission of water-related data and information between regional data sharing communities in real-time. Just as the internet revolutionized society by passing information between individuals, connecting water data across agencies andsectors will do no less than revolutionize how water resources are being managed; being better situated to address prevalent water prob-lems from extreme flooding, to scarcity, to contamination, to restoring aquatic systems. In this session Lauren Patterson will provide anoverview of the Aspen findings, Kelly Bennett will describe the value of open data from the user perspective, Greg Gearheart will shareabout California’s role as a data producer and data sharing community, and Tony Willardson will talk about the Water Data Exchange(WaDE) role to share and integrate data on water use across western states. https://www.aspeninstitute.org/publications/internet-of-water.

Topical Session: Groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) are hot spots of biodiversity, exhibiting high species richness relative tothe surrounding landscape, particularly in arid regions. In general, groundwater systems supporting GDEs are less studied, and withfewer institutional and regulatory protections, than those supporting human needs such as irrigation and municipal water supply. Thissession is intended to explore the hydrogeology, ecology, and management of GDEs, with the intent of fostering future communicationbetween scientists and resource managers.

California has been on a roller coaster ride of long-term extreme drought followed by one of the wettest winters on record. Faced withsevere to exceptional drought in much of the state during a recent five-year drought and regulatory restrictions on water project pump-ing, many water users called on Congress to change the way that the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) operates its Central ValleyProject (CVP). After multiple years of negotiation and several legislative attempts, Congress in December 2016 passed the WaterInfrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (P.L. 114-322). The WIIN Act included provisions aimed at improving or 'maximizing' CVPwater supplies while also protecting endangered species (Subtitle J - California Water). The Act also included significant changes toReclamation project policies, including an early repayment provision and blanket authority for construction of projects proposed by stateand local entities, with new cost-share requirements. This panel will discuss the first year implementation of the WIIN California Waterstatute: its successes, lessons learned from the 2017 water year, and reflections on possible outcomes for the 2018 water year (Oct. 1,2017-Sept. 30, 2018) including what information water managers need from water resource scientists, engineers, and academics to bal-ance competing water management objectives.

Topical Session: Unlike most other natural resource managers, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR) hasadopted a mission based on the First Foods ritualistically served at tribal meals. This framework for natural resource management seeksto reflect the unique tribal values associated with natural resources and to emphasize ecological processes and services that are oftenundervalued by westernized Euro-American natural resource strategies. Underscoring the importance of Tribal values, in 2007 theCTUIR lead an effort to create a target vision for the Umatilla River. The River Vision describes a healthy Umatilla River that is highlydynamic and shaped by not only physical and biological processes but also interactions and interconnections among those processes.Such a vision requires that managers incorporate several attributes of the Umatilla River into management and restoration strategies.We discuss our experiences of nearly 10 years, implementing the Umatilla River Vision across rivers in NE Oregon and SW Washington.

Project WET is the premier national and international water education program that reaches thousands of teachers and children everyyear. Based on science, but understandable by all, the hands- on activities are multi- disciplinary incorporating math, literature, culture,history and economics and relate to everyone- from 5 to 95! Project WET has more than 70 coordinators in the U.S. and reaches manycountries around the world. It is considered the world's best water education source. Project WET is currently engaged in a new pro-gram called America’s Water Future, which continues a mission that “envisions a world in which action oriented education enables everychild to understand and value water, ensuring a sustainable future.” This session will present the important topics that AWRA's audienceis engaged in by utilizing a fun, fantastic, interactive format that involves every attendee. Each attendee will leave with a new view ofwater and a collection of activities that can be used as icebreakers like 'ADrop in the Bucket' or 'Raining Cats and Dogs', to group coor-dination like '8 for 1 - 1 for All' or full-fledged hands on explanations of most of the topics being presented at this 2017 conference. Thiswill be an action packed 90-minutes that will offer short and simple educational activities for the classroom, outdoor activity, or the board-room. There are more than ninety activities in the WET guide to choose from in addition to other books like 'Healthy Water, HealthyPeople, and 'Wonder of Wetlands.'

MODERATOR • LAUREN PATTERSON • DUKE UNIVERSITY • DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA

Topical Session: This session will focus on highlighting one of the primary findings and recommendations from the recent Aspen DataDialogue Report - INTERNETOF WATER: Sharing and Integrating Water Data for Sustainability. Water is a highly undervalued resource,water data even more so. As such, it is important for water data users to demonstrate the value of open and shared water data to meetcurrent, ongoing water management. In this session, Jerad Bales will present on the value of open-source data services to support cit-izen monitoring; an upcoming potential source of water data. Levi Brekke will describe recent efforts by the Bureau of Reclamation toprovide platforms for the private sector and general public to access water-related data in the hopes that value will be created from opendata. Ryan Barr will talk about the data revolution in agriculture and how public data are leveraged, alongside with privately collecteddata, for decision-making. Biju George will present on the concept of a One Watershed Utility, which requires collecting and sharing avariety of real-time water data across a river basin to build flexible solutions to address runoff from high-intensity rain events.https://www.aspeninstitute.org/publications/internet-of-water/

DAVE CHRISTENSEN • WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY • OLYMPIA, WASHINGTONSUMMARY OF 2017 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

Under the Water Resources Act of 1971, administrative rules adopted by the State Department of Ecology create the same protectionsfor instream flows as an appropriative water right. To date, instream flow rules have been adopted in 29 watersheds plus the mainstemof the Columbia River. A series of Washington State Supreme Court decisions has led to challenges in balancing protection for streamflows with water supply needs of growing communities. In the 2000 Postema decision, the Court ruled that no de minimus impairmentto instream flows could be permitted, which implicated even domestic permit-exempt uses. Subsequent Supreme Court rulings includethe Swinomish, Foster and Hirst decisions. Taken together, these decisions restrict land owners relying on a permit-exempt well in basinswith instream flow rules from getting new building approvals, unless the impact on stream flow is mitigated. Specifically, the Hirst deci-sion from October 2016 has affected thousands of rural landowners, creating uncertainty, hardship and political conflict that has beenone of the most important issues in Washington’s 2017 legislative session. We will review the legal framework and history, and discusswhere things stand after the legislative session ends.

As discussed in Part I, finding approaches that protect stream flows and provide water supply options have challenged water managersin Washington State, especially in the last two decades. The conflicts have created measurable economic impacts to individual landown-ers and local communities. Policy makers across the west are looking for market reallocation tools to promote protection of instreamflows and provide for out-of-stream uses. In Washington State, water banks are being established to mitigate impairment from new per-mit-exempt wells in four watersheds: the Yakima Basin (Kittitas County), Walla Walla Basin, Dungeness and Spokane basins. Eachbank operates quite distinctly – costs, administrative structure, and legal underpinnings. We will discuss each of these banks, look atother banking models, and consider environmental and social settings found in other states in an effort to improve water managementthrough better use of market reallocation tools.

FIRE EMERGENCY INFORMATIONPREPAREDNESS IN HOTELS

PLAN AHEAD

When you check into your room, check the location of exits. Walk to the nearest exit, learn the route, obstacles, etc.Keep your room key on the night stand when you are in your room. Examine your room. Check the windows to see ifthey open and how. Examine the area outside your window.

IN CASE OF A FIRE ... EVACUATION PROCEDURES

Immediately investigate all odors, smoke, and/or disturbances. If you smell smoke, grab your key, roll out of bed, andcrawl to the door. Feel the door. If the door facing or knob is hot, don’t open it. If the hall is clear of fire, crawl towardthe exit after closing your door. Stay against the exit side of the wall. Keep as close to the floor as possible. When youreach the exit, walk down the stairs holding the handrail.

SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES IN THE ROOM

If the door is warm or hot, or if the hallway is filled with smoke, you can still defend yourself effectively in your room.Call the front desk to report the fire and let someone know your location. Vent the room. Use the bathroom vent fan oropen the window if there is smoke in your room. Don’t open the window if there is smoke outside. Fill the bathtub withwater for firefighting. Don’t get in the tub! Use wet sheets or towels to stuff the cracks around the door. use the ice buck-et to drench the walls, mattresses, rugs, drapes, etc. While waiting to be rescued, do not hide from the fire. Stay out ofclosets and out from under the bed. Keep fighting until help arrives. Place a towel, sheet, or other items in the windowto let firemen know that someone is in the room.

OTHER TIPS – JUMPING

If you jump from higher than the third floor, chances are you won’t survive the fall. Elevators ... Never enter an eleva-tor during a fire alert. Don’t Panic ... It is contagious and almost irreversible once it sets in. If you understand what ishappening, what to do, where to go and how to get there, you are unlikely to panic.
