WRRC News and Information
The Water Resources Research Center has several important future events to announce. Foremost among them is an event to honor an esteemed colleague, another is a spring conference and finally its administration of funding sources to support water research. Information about each is below.

WRRC hosts Sol Resnick event
To give Sol Resnick his due is not an easy task. With his world-wide experiences, especially his work in developing countries, his hydrological expertise, the esteem in which he is held by former students and colleagues, his unpretentiousness, not to mention his role in establishing the University of Arizona’s Water Resources Research Center and his present status as its director emeritus, Sol is due much recognition and honor. The WRRC wants to acknowledge all that and more when it names its main conference room after Sol.

To commemorate the occasion, a Sol Resnick Dedication Program and Reception will be held Tuesday, Nov. 18, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at the Water Resources Research Center, 350 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson. Sid Wilson, former Resnick student and general manager of the Central Arizona Project, will emcee the event. Included as part of the program will be a short seminar presentation, “Historical Overview of Sol Resnick and the WRRC.”

“Irrigating India, My Five Years as a USAID Advisor,” a book authored by Sol and his wife, Elaine, includes the dedication: “To all of our family and friends who have heard Sol’s stories and wanted more...” We now want your Sol stories, recollections, tributes, anecdotes, pictures to include in an album, to be presented to him. Fax, email, mail or deliver album materials to Terry Sprouse at the WRRC by Nov. 11.
Mark your calendars and join us to honor and congratulate Sol. RSVP to Terry Sprouse at 792-9591 x13 or by email to tsprouse@ag.arizona.edu

WRRC plans 2004 conference
Following its highly successful spring conference in Prescott, the Water Resources Research Center is now planning its next conference, to be titled, “The Future of Agricultural Water Use in Arizona.” Scheduled for Wednesday, April 28, 2004 in Casa Grande, the event will be a joint venture involving WRRC and the University of Arizona’s Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. The conference is at its preliminary planning stage. More information will be announced as the program takes shape.

WRRC issues RFP
Also, it is that time of year again when the Water Resources Research Center invites proposals for research grants under the Water Resources Research Act, Section 104B. Only faculty members at the three Arizona state universities can submit proposals. See “Announcements,” page 10, for information about the 104B program. The page-10 announcement also includes information about the availability of 104G funding.
