The Great Works of UWRRC

Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns

Abstract

Over the past four decades, members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Urban Water Resources Research Council have made extraordinary contributions to the field of urban water resources planning, design, and management. Historically, the Council has been comprised of many leading water resources engineers and scientists, and they have collaborated to prepare over 150 reports, technical memoranda, conference proceedings, and other documents on wide-ranging subjects. The purpose of this book is to republish selected great works of the UWRRC. Many of the UWRRC's publications are as timely and provocative today as when they were first published. Indeed, readers will be struck by the foresight and perspectives of Council members from decades ago on such subjects as: drainage and flood control; stormwater quality management; water supply planning; risk assessment; public involvement and participation, and the role of the water engineer in society, to name only a few. The founding members of the Council include: (1) Stifel W. Jens, (2) D. Earl Jones, Jr., (3) J.C. Geyer, (4) Carl F. Izzard, and (5) William C. Ackermann. The original Council Program Director was Murray B. McPherson and the Deputy Program Director was L. Scott Tucker. All water resources practitioners owe a debt of gratitude to these leaders and visionaries.
