Read the first issue of the Florida Watershed Journal. The Florida Watershed Journal (FWJ) is an official publication of the Florida Section AWRA and the Florida Water Environment Association (FWEA). As leading professional associations in water related industries, the AWRA and the FWEA have made a commitment to keeping members and the community well informed. The FWJ is the only publication in Florida dedicated solely to the dynamic developments in water related issues. Authors in the FWJ are considered leaders in their fields. In order to keep the FWJ current and vibrant, we need help from AWRA and FWEA members to identify topics of value that should be published in the FWJ. Contact Patrick Victor (victorpr@cdm.com) or Nabil Muhaisen (nmuhaisen@sjrwmd.com) with suggestions. To submit a paper for consideration to be published in the FWJ, submit the paper in electronic format (MS Word or PDF) to Chris Martinez (chrisjm@ufl.edu). A stock photo of the lead or corresponding author should be included with submission.
We have been approved by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers to offer Professional Development Hour credit to Florida registered Professional Engineers. Our very reasonably priced meetings make this a great bargain for engineers!
