Abstract
Many great cities of the world are located on the banks of similarly great rivers. Louisville, Kentucky, is no exception, ranking 30th in US population and established immediately upstream of the Falls of the Ohio River. It was here that early river travelers paused to contemplate the challenge of navigating the falls. It was here that more than 400 conservationists gathered for the 71st International Annual Conference of the Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) to consider the challenge of “Managing Great River Landscapes.” From the world's largest rivers to the smallest upstream landscape features, understanding the hydrology of and human influence on agricultural and urban landscapes is important to address the challenges of agricultural production, resource conservation, and environmental quality protection. This theme was the focus of this year's outstanding conference.
