These international meetings have come to be recognized as the North American focal point for computational methods used to analyze, design, and operate water distribution systems, as well as related field studies and applications.  For 2006, the organizing committee will expand this annual event into a one-time stand-alone Symposium dedicated to WDSA, with increased opportunities for participation and expanded scope.  Please see the above web site for complete details.  Attendance is expected to be in the range of 250 to 300 participants drawn from universities, governmental agencies, water utilities and consulting engineering firms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics of Interest:<\/strong><br \/>\nAbstracts are solicited on virtually all topics of relevance to water distribution systems analysis.
