Groundwater is the lifeline for many rural and agricultural regions and their associated cultures and populations around the globe and a cornerstone of global food production. Groundwater constitutes nearly half the world’s drinking water and much of the world’s irrigation water supply.
More than 150 speakers plus poster presenters will be on hand. The conference will feature several plenary sessions and four concurrent tracks offering a wide range of policy and technical presentations.
The Water Education Foundation and UC Davis hosted similar conferences in 2010 & 2016.
Session Topics Include:
- Emerging Contaminants
- Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in California
- Environmental Justice
- Modeling & Data
- Salinity & Nitrate Policy
The conference also features discussions about threats to groundwater, such as overuse; salinity; nonpoint source pollution from agricultural activities, animal farming, ranching, and forestry activities; agricultural groundwater impacts to surface water; and groundwater quality and quantity conflicts at the urban-rural interface, which have reached global dimensions and threaten the very livelihood of this planet.
