2013 NGWA Summit — The National and International Conference on Groundwater

Management of Fresh/Brackish Groundwater Resources: Tools, Innovations, and Applications

Tuesday, April 30, 2013: 8:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m.
Regency West 5 (Hyatt Regency San Antonio)
Presentations will cover laboratory, office, field, and modeling tools and innovations and their applications for groundwater resources management. These include: regional groundwater recharge studies using GIS and stream base flow; aquifer characterization techniques; aquifer storage studies using 3-dimensional visualization; aquifer restoration (enhanced recharge, injection, etc.), groundwater availability, groundwater/surface water interaction; brackish groundwater migration and brackish/fresh groundwater mixing; impacts of drought on groundwater discharge to springs and surface water bodies; case studies of pilot tests and field-scale applications; and influences of hydraulic fracturing on groundwater flow and mass transport.
