Workshop overview

Examine the challenges — and successes — of managing the integration of groundwater and surface water in this one-day workshop being held jointly by NGWA and the American Water Resources Association (AWRA).

The interrelationship between groundwater and surface water is well established by science. Yet, institutions at all levels have struggled to effectively incorporate these concepts into laws, regulations, management, and planning. This one-day workshop will examines the challenges and successes of:

  • The conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water as a single resource
  • Groundwater as part of integrated water resources management
  • Effective consideration of groundwater in watershed management and planning.

All aspects of water availability and quality will be considered.

This interactive workshop will include panel presentations on three specific topics representing diverse views:

  • What are the major institutional impediments to conjunctive use and management of groundwater and surface water? — panelists include Bill Alley, Ph.D., Sharon B. Megdal, Ph.D., and James C. Schneider, Ph.D.
  • How is groundwater used for adaptation and resilience? — panelists include Katharine Jacobs, Robert Mace, Ph.D., and John C. Tracy, Ph.D.
  • How do we build groundwater considerations into policies for agriculture, energy, environment, land-use planning, and urban development sectors? — panelists include John M. Stomp III, PE, Grant Davis, and Ken Rainwater, Ph.​D​​.​

  • Bill Alley, Ph.D.
  • Lisa Beutler
  • Mike Campana, Ph.D.
