2012 NGWA Ground Water Summit: Innovate and Integrate

Over the years, many municipalities have relied on groundwater as their primary, or sole, source for meeting their communities' water needs. This practice has resulted in a variety of negative impacts, including rising operations and maintenance costs as well as compromising their ability to meet long-term water demands. This session looks at how various water agencies have adjusted their water resource management plans, designed and implemented strategies to provide balanced portfolios based on a broader array of water resource supplies establishing flexibility in meeting growing demands, addressing climate change impacts and long-term sustainable water resource management.
