8th UF Water Institute Symposium

The UF Water Institute partnered with Duke Energy to host the 8th biennial UF Water Institute Symposium on February 22-23, 2022.

The Symposium brought together scientists, practitioners, policy experts and more to explore complex water issues and solutions from diverse perspectives. Over 400 participants gathered in person (many for the first time since the 2020 Symposium) to share the latest innovative science, technology, education, policy, and management advances. The Keynote Presentation was provided by Dr. Margaret Palmer, Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland, College of Park and Director of the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center. Over 230 contributed oral and poster presentations were provided on the following themes:

The Symposium’s Final Plenary Session, entitled Climate Resilience in a Ground Zero State, provided a venue for leading scientists, engineers, water managers and policy makers representing agriculture, the environment, water management, and academic interests to discuss what climate resilience means for Florida’s water sector. In Florida, climate change is already disrupting local communities, economies, infrastructure, ecosystems and human health – but how might these systems persist or adapt in the wake of this disruption? Panel members discussed initiatives, opportunities, and timeframes for developing water-related resilience in the face of climate impacts.
