2008 National Conference in Desert Hot Springs, California
"Going Green for Groundwater"
The 2008 Groundwater Foundation National Conference and Groundwater Guardian Designation Celebration will be held at Miracle Springs Resort and Spa in Desert Hot Springs, California, November 18-20.
In a world where going “green” is all the rage, has groundwater been forgotten? The 2008 Groundwater Foundation National Conference will examine the importance of including groundwater in green efforts, opportunities for green groundwater actions, and how to share the message with the community.
Conference topics include: Groundwater Guardian Green Sites, US EPA Water Sense Program, gray water reuse, landscape technologies, stormwater management, pollution prevention, take-back programs, business/industry going green, media challenges and solutions, effective communications, community case studies, and more.
