2007 Ground Water Summit

Tuesday, May 1, 2007: 10:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m.
San Miguel (Albuquerque Convention Center)
Water Resources Investigations
As water supply becomes a more critical issue around the world, the need for effective hydrogeologic evaluations of the resources becomes more important. Most water supply investigations involve flow systems that are much larger than the scale of a typical environmental project. As a result, broader and more multidisciplinary skills are needed to successfully develop and manage ground water resources. That session will present several case histories that illustrate the proper integration of geology, geochemistry, hydrology and politics this is needed to effectively develop and maintain groundwater resources for water supply applications.
