Soils, Irrigation, and Groundwater Management

Tuesday, December 6, 2016: 3:30 p.m.-5:15 p.m.
N201/N202 (Las Vegas Convention Center)
This workshop on “Soils, Irrigation, and Groundwater Management,” is jointly developed by the National Ground Water Association, the Irrigation Association, and the Soil Science Society of America. The workshop focuses on topics at the intersection of these three key areas. Topics include agricultural management and drainage, nutrient management, estimation of evapotranspiration, water metering and water-use estimation, vulnerability of groundwater to contamination, remote sensing applications, and use of geospatial data from USGS, NASA, and other agencies
