2012 NGWA Ground Water Summit: Innovate and Integrate

One of the most significant challenges faced by groundwater hydrologists is that of meeting societal expectations of our discipline. Common questions asked of us include what are the current conditions in an aquifer system and what might the future hold for that system? Networks of monitoring wells can provide invaluable information for helping us address such questions, but they can also overwhelm us with massive amounts of data. This session will focus on how to fully exploit and effectively manage the data collected in our networks, and how to enhance the value of this information through integration with other data sources.
