Groundwater Protection: Bridging the Gap Between What is Known and What is Practiced

For decades scientists, hydrologists, hydrogeologists, policy makers, and others have worked diligently to find answers to our water related concerns and issues. Much is known about our water resources and policy has been enacted to help protect and manage our water. Yet, how has this information impacted day-to-day groundwater management practices?

The Groundwater Foundation explored this question at its annual conference by focusing on how current science, technology, and policy can promote groundwater-friendly practices at the local level.  The conference was held November 28-30, 2007 at the Sheraton Denver West Hotel in the Denver suburb of Lakewood, Colorado.  Invited speakers included: Assistant Secretary for the U.S. Department of the Interior, Mark Limbaugh; U.S. Geological Survey Office of Ground Water, Chief, Bill Alley, and Colorado Supreme Court Justice Gregory Hobbs, Jr.  Conference co-sponsors include: Awwa Research Foundation, Water Systems Council and the U.S. Geological Survey.
