The Annual International Conference on Stormwater and Urban Water Systems Modeling is a forum for professionals from across North America and overseas to exchange ideas and experience on current practices and emerging technologies. This is the 45th annual SWMM Users Group Meeting, the 21st in the current series of annual Toronto conferences, and the 32nd to be held in Canada. The current title reflects a slightly broader interest, including water distribution systems. The atmosphere is relaxed, presentations are of a high standard and by accepting papers up to the last few weeks before the event, a spontaneity is achieved which gives this conference special character.
