Water Resources Technical Group / East Central Florida EWRI Chapter
The ASCE East Central Branch Water Resources Technical Committee was formed to help inform, educate, and promote the importance of water resources within our region. This committee is comprised of local professionals engaged within the water resources technical area, including surface and ground water resources. The services this committee provides includes the monthly luncheons and an annual seminar which provide the forums through which our members are able to stay up to date with ever changing regulations, the latest trends within the industry, and projects and initiatives within the region and the state. The proceeds generated from these functions are utilized to provide scholarships to those individuals seeking degrees within water resources related fields and provide other reduced cost training programs throughout the year focused on topics of special interest.
