DEADLINES
Deadline to submit abstract is January 31, 2018 (download abstract template).
A written paper for the Proceedings of Hydrology Days is not required. However, if submitting a paper for the Proceedings, the deadline to submit the final paper is February 9, 2018 (download paper template).
Overview
Hydrology Days has been held on the campus of Colorado State University each year since 1981. Hydrology Days is a unique celebration of multi-disciplinary hydrologic science and its closely related disciplines. The Hydrology Days vision is to provide an annual forum for outstanding scientists, professionals and students involved in basic and applied research on all aspects of water to share ideas, problems, analyses and solutions. The focus includes the water cycle and its interactions with land surface, atmospheric, ecosystem, economic and political processes, and all aspects of water resources engineering, management and policy.
Conference Format
A three-day program for Hydrology Days will include contributed papers; a few invited papers; student papers; and a poster session. Oral presentations will be scheduled for 20 minutes, including discussion. Standard audio-visual equipment (overhead and slide projectors and computer projection equipment) will be provided. Written papers are not mandatory. Travel scholarships are available.
SESSIONS
Papers are welcome on all topics in hydrology and related fields of science and engineering. Several sessions under consideration are:
Colorado Floods
Scaling issues: scale dependence and scale invariance in hydrology
Eco-hydrology
Environmental river mechanics
Advances in river restoration
Latest technologies for estimating evaporation and evapotranspiration in the field
Semi-arid region vadose zone hydrology and contaminant transport
Scaling issues: scale dependence and scale invariance in hydrology
Morphodynamics
Hydrological impacts of forest management practices.
Fluvial geomorphology and landscape evolution
Environmental hydrogeology
Transport and coupled processes in the vadose zone
Nonlinear dynamics and multiple scale processes in hydrology
Coupled hydrologic, ecologic and atmospheric modeling
Groundwater and surface water interaction
Wetlands
Regional scale dynamics of soil moisture processes
Hydrological, fisheries, economic and social impacts of dam removal.
Modeling reservoir operations with biological constraints.
Quantifying hydrological needs of endangered species.
Role of hydrologic models in the TMDL process.
Applications of GIS in hydrology.
Measurements and estimation of aquifer recharge in large basins.
Estimation of hydraulic properties of porous media.
Multi-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media.
Statistical analysis of water quality data: are 'standard' methods
evolving for specific management information purposes?
New methodological developments in stochastic hydrology
Water pricing
Water policy
Agricultural hydrology for irrigated crop production
Student Awards
Awards and prizes will be given for the best student papers as oral and poster presentations in the following categories: B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. Criteria for judging: clarity of presentation, technical soundness and originality of contribution, relevance to hydrologic practice, and quality of written paper if submitted for the Proceedings.

Accommodations
The Conference will be held at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. Fort Collins http://www.ci.fort-collins.co.us is a community of more than 100,000 located 65 miles (104 kilometers) north of Denver. At an elevation of 5,000 feet (1,525 meters), it rests at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Fort Collins is within an hour of several mountain parks including Rocky Mountain National Park, Roosevelt National Forest, and Lory State Park. Fort Collins enjoys a sunny, dry climate year-round. We encourage you to use your time in Colorado for recreation as well as technical learning.
The Hilton Fort Collins Hotel is located across from campus. Also the Best Western University Inn is located at the edge of campus. For additional lodging information, please browse the following URL: http://www.ftcollins.com/Default.asp
