The Groundwater Foundation began in 1985 with enthusiasm and
passion for groundwater. Now 30 years
later, the Foundation celebrates this milestone by looking to the future: it truly is just the beginning.
Groundwater is perhaps an even more critical resource now
than three decades ago. Increased demand
for groundwater for drinking water, agriculture, and industry, along with
ever-changing threats from contamination, puts groundwater at an important
juncture – one that necessitates action by each and every one of us.
The 2015 Groundwater Foundation National Conference will
serve as a call to action on behalf of groundwater. The future is upon us, and action is needed
to identify challenges and develop approaches and solutions to address
them. From climate change and growing
societal needs to a wide variety of emerging contaminants, each of us will need
to be prepared to prevent and mitigate the potential risks to this precious
resource.
Through knowledgeable speakers, educational workshops, and
unique tours, conference participants will find tools and experiences to help
them take action to protect groundwater in their communities.
To present a paper at the conference or to join us to learn
more about how you and your community can protect groundwater, visit our
