Texas Water Science Center SeminarsThe Texas Water Science Center conducts occasional in-office seminars about various water topics. The public is invited to attend. These presentations will begin at 11 AM in the large conference room at the Texas Water Science Center, 8027 Exchange Dr. in Austin. Parking is limited so please plan to carpool if you attend these sessions. The seminars are usually during lunchtime, so feel free to bring your lunch. If you would like to be notified of upcoming seminars via e-mail, then just send us your name and email address. The list also will be used to notify its members of seminar cancellations or other schedule changes. Map and driving directions to our office. No seminars are scheduled at this time.
