Groundwater: Cities, Suburbs, and Growth Areas — Remedying the Past and Managing for the Future (#5026)

Page Content

Los Angeles • August 8-9, 2011

Conference overview

Greater metropolitan areas throughout the world struggle with a myriad of issues to supply their populations with potable drinking water supplies, as well as manage circumstances and situations that affect public health, safety, and the integrity of aging infrastructure.

  • How do cities and the surrounding areas maintain or expand water supplies?
  • How do they address public sanitation and damaged infrastructure?
  • How do they manage stormwater, if at all?
  • How is groundwater protection and recharge being addressed in their planning efforts?
  • What is the state of groundwater in urban and surrounding areas in terms of groundwater supply and sustainability, and what actions are being taken to ensure integrity of the resource?
  • What are the stresses on groundwater in suburban growth areas where new homes rely predominantly on private wells?
  • How does construction dewatering, quarrying, and other geotechnical activities interact and affect groundwater in urban and suburban areas?

This conference will address these and other global groundwater issues specifically pertinent to large metropolitan areas, from basic to complex levels, and from planning for protecting public health and safety to the implementation and execution of scientific and engineering practices.

Links and attractions

Hundreds of guidebooks and Web sites tell Los Angeles travelers the best places to visit, but someone with just a day for the only-in-LA experience could do far worse than go the "when in Rome" route by taking cues from the locals when it comes to recreation, shopping, food, and other activities.

If you're looking to whittle down your number of options within this vast metropolis, check out this link for a few things to check out that will make your day unlike any other — http://www.discoverlosangeles.com/play/activities-and-recreation/one-day-in-la.html.
