2012 NGWA Ground Water Summit: Innovate and Integrate

Garden Grove, California May 6 - 10, 2012

Groundwater professionals are facing formidable challenges presented by factors ranging from increasing global population and multiple demands for water to changing climate and unsustainable use of groundwater supplies. These challenges are not amenable to simple solutions using traditional methods. Instead, confronting these challenges will require new scientific understanding, new technologies and innovative application of existing methods, multidisciplinary approaches, and policies founded in sound science.

The focus of the 2012 NGWA Ground Water Summit — Innovate and Integrate: Succeeding as a Groundwater Professional in a Water-Short World — will help you prepare for, and thrive in, this environment.
