The theme of the conference, ‘Living Catchments’, emphasises not only the human element of watershed and river basin management but also the dynamism and complexity as a melting pot of various anthropogenic interests (industry, residential, environmental, institutional, recreational etc.) and their interdependencies with the interests of the natural world. From mountains to prairies, from floodplains to oceans coasts, from cities to towns, villages, ranches, and farms, everyone lives in and benefits from a catchment and, in turn, impacts and is impacted by its water quality and water quantity.
