  • The American Water Resources Association 1964-2014: Fifty Years Dedicated to Water Resources Management, Research and Education
    Thank You to Authors The American Water Resources Association (AWRA) Board of Directors and Staff are pleased to acknowledge Past Presidents Dr. David DeWalle (2006) and Dr. Jerry Rogers (1989) for their extraordinary efforts in the preparation of this history of our first 50 years. David and Jerry are prime examples of the volunteers that have shared their time and expertise to continue to make AWRA a multidisciplinary water resources organization leader in the United States. Gentlemen, We thank you very much. THE AMERICAN WATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION 1964-2014: FIFTY YEARS DEDICATED TO WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION David R. DeWalle1 and Jerry R. Rogers2 Abstract The mission of the American Water Resources Association (AWRA) to promote an improved understanding of water resources and related issues by providing a multidisciplinary forum for information exchange, professional development, and education has not changed over the 50 years of its existence. The AWRA multidisciplinary emphasis has drawn membership and clientele from a wide variety of water-related disciplines in academia, government and private industry and has allowed AWRA programs to rapidly adapt to emerging issues, changes in technology, and shifting needs of its members. AWRA programs have addressed broad traditional surface and groundwater hydrology issues as well as specific programs on water policy, GIS applications, climate change, integrated water resources management, agricultural hydrology, emerging contaminants and toxics, riparian management, and international water issues. Over the 50 years AWRA has sponsored 120 meetings and symposia in the United States and abroad with over 30,000 attendees. Water Resources IMPACT (IMPACT) and the Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA) have emerged as the major AWRA publications with the impact factor for JAWRA currently ranking it in the upper third of peer publications.

  • Merriweather Post Pavilion
    Citizen Advisory Panel on Merriweather Post Pavilion Final Report Introduction On August 12, 2004, County Executive Jim Robey signed Executive Order No. 2004-03 (attached as Appendix 1), which appointed 16 leaders of the business and arts communities in Howard County to serve on the Merriweather Citizens Advisory Panel (the Panel). He asked the Panel to advise him on whether Howard County (the County) should purchase Merriweather Post Pavilion from The Rouse Company (now General Growth Properties (GGP)), which had announced that Merriweather was for sale provided that the purchaser agrees to meet certain provisions. He asked the Panel to answer five questions: 1. Is there a public service purpose for Howard County to purchase Merriweather Post Pavilion? 2. If there is a public service purpose for the County to purchase Merriweather, what should be the primary purpose of the facility (e.g., a concert venue, an all-purpose arts facility, etc.), what other activities should be permitted and what organizations should have access? 3. Does Merriweather need to be renovated, and if so what type and scope of renovation would be necessary for it to most successfully and effectively achieve the determined primary purpose? 4. What type of management and control structure should be put into place for the operation of this facility? 5. What level of public oversight should exist? In addition, the County solicited proposals for consultant services for a “Feasibility study associated with the possible purchase and renovation of Merriweather Post Pavilion.” The County received five proposals it deemed to be acceptable. Following interviews with the firms that submitted those proposals, the County hired the team of Ziger/Snead LLP Architects, Webb Management Services, Inc.
