The Symposium will be held on December 16-18, 2002, at the University of Texas JJ Pickle Research Campus in Austin, Texas. This is a forum for the presentation and discussion of water resource applications using digital elevation data including NED, EDNA, LIDAR, synthetic aperture radar, digital bathymetry, and several other closely associated national datasets, the NHD and the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD).

The Symposium provides:

• a forum for exchange of ideas and information for water resources professionals and geographic information scientists,
• transfer of data, technology and management information on water resource applications using digital elevation, LIDAR, Radar Altimetry and remotely sensed data,
• an update and meeting on the current Arc Hydro Data Model as developed by the GIS in Water Resource Consortium,
• meeting of the ArcInfo Water Resources User Group

The symposium is sponsored by: U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, FEMA and the Center for Research in Water Resources at the University of Texas.
