The 2017 Summit and Groundwater Week have been designed to provide both educational and networking experiences to all who work in the groundwater industry. Every opportunity to maximize the foundations of groundwater science with water supply, resource protection, and remediation will be applied to this premier groundwater event. There will indeed be something for everyone involved in groundwater at some point during this week. We learn best from each other and thus we invite you to share your research, technology transfer, unique applications, and experience in one of a variety of options in Nashville.
All submissions are captured electronically and the content management system turns off at 11:59 p.m. ET on April 28, 2017.
Conference Sessions will be offered during the Summit on Monday and Tuesday and each selected abstract is allocated 20 minutes for a platform presentation. Topic areas for submissions include, but are not limited to:
- Availability and Sustainability
- Emerging Contaminants
- Groundwater and Energy
- Groundwater and Integrated Water Management
- Groundwater Modeling
- Groundwater Monitoring
- Groundwater Remediation, including Combined Remedies
- Integrating Science into the Consulting Business
- Karst Hydrology
- Managed /Aquifer Recharge
- Surface Water/Groundwater Interaction
- Water Quality and Treatment
- Well Design and Life Cycle
- Mississippi Alluvial Plain Groundwater Project
- Broad Implications of Emerging Contaminants to Water Policy
- Anything Else Groundwater
Extended Learning Sessions will be offered Tuesday afternoon. They are structured to provide in-depth information about one specific topic and will be 75-90 minutes in length. Topic areas for submissions include, but are not limited to:
