Who
Should Attend?
 The
conference is designed to bring together scientists,
engineers, water resource managers, and policy makers who
are actively involved in and/or affected by salt water
intrusion, management of coastal aquifers, and submarine
groundwater discharge. This includes those studying the
marine environment as well as those from the terrestrial
side. Participants from academia, private consulting firms,
local, state, and national government agencies will interact
in an informal and relaxed environment to summarize and
review state-of-the-art methods for investigating salt water
intrusion.

Benefits of Attending
 Conference
participants should expect to have a meaningful experience
that fosters:
-
development
of new ideas and directions for future work.
-
an
up-to-date understanding on the issues related to salt
water intrusion.
-
the
opportunity to form new collaborative relationships and
to renew existing ones.
- new
strategies for monitoring, simulating, and managing salt
water intrusion

Conference Overview
 In keeping with
40 years of the SWIM tradition, the Florida meeting will
consist of an informal environment where students and those
new to the field can meet established and well-known salt
water intrusion scientists and engineers. A workshop on salt
water intrusion modeling will also be offered. Southern
Florida has a lot to offer to SWIM participants including
field trips to the Everglades, Florida Keys, and locations
of some of the first field studies of salt water intrusion.
This is the first time the meeting will be held outside of
Europe. The previous meeting in Cagliari, Italy, 2006 was a
combined meeting of SWIM and SWICA. There it was agreed to
combine the two organizations under the SWIM name and that
SWIM would be held outside Europe every second meeting. The
venue of the 2010 SWIM meeting is planned to be Portugal.

Purpose
 The purpose of
the 20th Salt Water Intrusion Meeting is to provide a forum
for scientists, engineers, water resource managers, and
planners to share their research, ideas, and
recommendations. This conference provides a unique
opportunity to meet well-known and respected scientists and
engineers in the field of salt water intrusion. Conference
participants will have the opportunity to receive feedback
on their research and management issues and to form
collaborative relationships with those encountering similar
problems.

Call for Papers
Paper Submission is now Closed.
Individuals
conducting research on all aspects related to Salt Water
Intrusion are strongly encouraged to submit a paper (no more
than four pages in length) representing an oral or poster
presentation. The Scientific Committee will select oral
presentations for the Salt Water Intrusion Meeting from
submitted papers based on relationship to conference topics.
Those not selected for oral presentation are encouraged to
present their work in poster format. ALL papers, both oral
and poster, will be published in the book of papers and will
also be posted on the Conference website following the
meeting.
Papers must be submitted ONLINE via this web site no
later than February 15, 2008. The organizing committee
will be reviewing all paper submissions and will contact you
by March 3, 2008 with a decision regarding your
presentation status and comments on your paper. The revised
