Estimation of Recharge to Assess Ground Water Availability

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) sponsored the special session "Estimation of Recharge to Assess Ground Water Availability" at the 2007 Ground Water Summit, Albuquerque, New Mexico, April 29-May 3, 2007. USGS research on estimation of recharge to ground water was presented at the conference. The USGS was also one of the conference's sponsors.
