Conference Overview
2012 NGWA Ground Water Summit: Innovate and Integrate (#5095)
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.
This annual comprehensive event also provides unparalleled opportunities for career growth and a forum for perspectives from the research, regulatory, advocacy, and consulting communities. In addition, students and faculty members can take advantage of numerous opportunities to discuss research and explore applications.
