About the Conference. The Eastern South Dakota Water Conference is held annually at the campus of South Dakota State University and attracts 175-200 attendees from academia, students, local, state, and federal agencies, interest groups and industry. Water is an environmental good that provides critical services for recreation, economic development, agricultural and domestic use all of which are important to human activity. Stakeholders within watersheds have differing perspectives on water quality and quantity management and the sustainability of ample sources of high quality water. The conference covers the latest strategies and research for water managers and water users on the Northern Great Plains.
