**Final Agenda (V2.1) June 13, 2006**

**Water Management Program Workshop**

**UMUC Room 1311 of the Conference Center**

**Workshop Objectives**

The workshop goals are to introduce you to the NASA Applied Sciences
Program, Water Management application and to interact with other
participants to share your activities, results, and perspectives and to
help plot the direction of future activities. This is also the first
opportunity for the newly formed Water Management Working Group to
examine activities and plans and to provide insights on directions the
