2014 NGWA Groundwater Summit

Groundwater is a resource to be protected. It ignores political boundaries, transports contaminants, floods mine and construction sites, spins communities into an uproar, and can�t be found when you need it. Model, explore, characterize, bank, inject, extract, treat, and predict all your subsurface needs with everything groundwater at the 2014 NGWA Groundwater Summit.

NGWA seeks abstracts on any topic related to groundwater science and practice. Submissions may address either broad or niche areas; research projects or case studies; management and policy challenges; and local to transboundary groundwater issues. Biologists, microbiologists, chemists, and toxicologists are encouraged to offer submissions on their research and practice that include any aspect of groundwater.

Abstracts must be submitted in sentence form and without bullet points by November 8, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Word limits are 15 words or less for titles and 300 words or less for abstracts.

Abstracts must be accompanied by complete presenter information including full name, complete mailing address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, and a bio of 100 words or less. A frequently used e-mail address is extremely important since this is the primary means of communication between NGWA and submitters/presenters.
