Water Modeling Together! At the Confluence of Water Systems, Technology, and Community

Water Modeling Together will establish the first major conference dedicated to water systems modeling (Distribution, Stormwater, Collections). Led by EWRI and strategic partners, it will unite modelers, utilities, researchers, and practitioners to advance innovation, training, collaboration, and practical solutions - honoring modeling traditions while embracing new changes that unlock the community’s future potential.

Top 5 Reasons to Attend

  1. We will bring the water modeling community together by creating a shared forum for distribution, collection, wastewater, and stormwater modelers, researchers, practitioners, utilities, software developers, and regulators.
  2. We will explore the role of AI and emerging technologies in modeling by discussing how modelers can responsibly adopt, evaluate, and co-exist with AI-enabled tools while maintaining engineering judgment and trust.
  3. We will bridge research and practice by connecting academic innovation with real-world utility needs, consulting applications, workforce development, and implementable project outcomes.
  4. All technical sessions will be eligible for Professional Development Hours (PDHs), by providing offering opportunities to strengthen core modeling fundamentals while also introducing advanced concepts, workflows, and technologies.  
  5. We plan to advance integrated water systems collaboration by creating space for cross-sector coordination among EWRI committees and partner organizations to support a broader, unified modeling community.
