Annual Symposium

The Annual Indiana-Michigan Symposium hosted by the St. Joseph River Basin Commission provides a networking opportunity for decision makers and water managers from Indiana and Michigan. Formal presentations and open networking time encourages the sharing of successes and lessons learned throughout the basin. There are signs of improvement in the health of the St. Joseph River and its tributaries. This improvement is largely due to the combined efforts of local governments, non-profit groups, and private landowners. The Symposium serves as a means of increasing collaboration, improving effectiveness, and expanding the implementation of these efforts to promote the continued improvement of our water resources.

The 24th Annual Symposium was held on Friday May 10th, 2024 at the Covered Bridge Farm Park in Three Rivers, Michigan. It focused on the roles of measurement, modeling and scale in water management as large water withdrawals and transfers from one basin to another are becoming increasingly common concerns in our region. Understanding water availability and making informed decisions about water use are more important than ever. Learn more about the 2024 program here.
