As climate changes, California will face decreased snowpack, earlier peaks in runoff, unknown changes in groundwater recharge, and more extreme events, such as drought. Many uncertainties exist, however, about how these changes will influence groundwater resources and management.
This conference brings together scientists, water managers, policy-makers, engineers, and other stakeholders to identify key challenges and solutions for a sustainable future.
Please join us in a day-long workshop to discuss climate impacts on groundwater and adaptive solutions for the future.
