Darcy Lecture Series in Ground Water Science

To foster interest and excellence in groundwater science and technology, the Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecture Series in Ground Water Science was established in 1986. The series — which has reached more than 70,000 groundwater students, faculty members, and professionals — honors Henry Darcy of France for his 1856 investigations that established the physical basis upon which groundwater hydrogeology has been studied ever since.

How the lecturer is selected

Annually, a panel of scientists and engineers invites an outstanding groundwater professional to share his or her work with their peers and students.

Lead gifts launch Darcy endowment campaign

Past Darcy Lecturers in Groundwater Science Jim Butler, Ph.D., University of Kansas (2007), David Hyndman, Ph.D., Michigan State University (2002), and Richelle Allen-King, University of Buffalo (2003), have each made $1,000 gifts to the lecture series' endowment fund. Butler, Allen-King, and Hyndman are spearheading the endowment campaign.

Matching their gifts are Warren Wood, Ph.D., Art Becker, MGWC, SGS Environmental, and NGWA and Foundation Executive Director Kevin McCray, CAE. Wood was an early advocate for the creation of the Darcy Lecture Series and was a member of the Darcy selection committee for several years.

"The Darcy Lecture Series is the scientific essence of the NGWA and NGWREF missions," said Becker, NGWA president-elect. "Science is critical to educating the world about groundwater issues and resources. Everyone in our profession benefits from the Darcy and should support its funding."
