WESTERVILLE, Ohio — Held annually by the National Ground Water Association (NGWA), this year’s Ground Water Summit, which takes place May 6-10 in Garden Grove, Calif., is focused on the theme, “Innovate and Integrate: Succeeding as a Groundwater Professional in a Water-Short World,” according to a press release.

Groundwater professionals are facing formidable challenges presented by factors ranging from increasing global population and multiple demands for water to changing climate and unsustainable use of groundwater supplies, stated the release.

These challenges will require new scientific understanding, new technologies and innovative application of existing methods, multidisciplinary approaches and policies founded in sound science — all topics of discussion during the 2012 Ground Water Summit, noted the release.
