The 2009 Ground Water Summit—The Science and Engineering Conference: Adapting to Increasing Demands in a Changing Climate taking place April 19-23, in Tucson, Arizona, will bring together a mix of regulators, natural resource managers, practitioners, and those who supply knowledge and technology needed to address our key water issues. The program will focus on the critical role of ground water in the context of a changing climate with regard to water resources and provide insights into the nature of the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Program highlights include a keynote presentation, the NGWREF Darcy lecturer, the GSA Birdsall-Dreiss lecturer, short courses, and field trips. The Ground Water Summit offers the opportunity to learn and stay current, present your latest ground water endeavors, and renew existing professional relationships, as well as start new ones.
