Collaborative Aspects of the PA Hydrography Dataset (PAHD) - Meeting Invitation
The Seventh Annual Water Data Workshop will once again be hosted jointly by PaMAGIC and the DCNR Bureau of Geological Survey. This year’s event will feature two virtual workshops:
- Day One is the statewide plenary on Thursday, February 4th (9am – 11am) to describe PAHD Status and Plans.
- Day Two is a series of three individual river basin workshops on Thursday, February 11th (one hour each from 9am – noon) focused on unique regional needs and opportunities.
