NGWA has compiled the following list of drought-related articles from its archives that may be of special benefit to water system planners, managers, and policymakers. Topics range from conservation, managing perpetual drought, and aquifer storage and recovery to long-range water supply planning, conjunctive use of ground water and surface water, and ground water in an urban environment.
A limited number of articles have been selected for your convenience. You may conduct a more extensive search using the Web site’s search engine (located in the upper right corner of the page).
