Highlights of the 2013 NGWA Groundwater Summit
The 2013 NGWA Summit — The National and International Conference on Groundwater that took place April 28-May 2 in San Antonio this year was one of the best yet. To all of you who attended — thank you for making this year’s conference such a success!

- An optional field trip, hands-on event, and several short courses.
NGWA CEO Kevin McCray, CAE, succinctly summed up the success of the 2013 Summit with his statement — “I judge the value of a conference in part by the hallway conversations. They were many and robust in San Antonio.”
If you were unable to attend everything you wanted to — or had to miss the conference altogether — you can still do so…in a manner of speaking. Presentations from the 2013 Summit will be available soon through the NGWA Event and Education Recordings Archive. While free to attendees, there is a nominal charge to others.
