From 1978 to 2007, 13 symposia on Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) were held in Arizona at approximate 2 year intervals. These symposia were important venues for policy-makers, practitioners, researchers, and educators to learn about the policies, regulations, and technical challenges affecting MAR. The information shared at these symposia moved the understanding and utilization of MAR rapidly forward. Today, MAR is understood as being a key part of a sustainable water resources management strategy. Even so, there is still much work that needs to be done to better understand how MAR can used to more efficiently utilize our increasingly scarce water supplies.
The Groundwater Resources Association of California and the Arizona Hydrological Society are proud to team up to restart this symposia series with the location of the event alternating between California and Arizona. The 2014 event was designed with families in mind as the hotel is only two miles from Disneyland. The hotel offers discounted Disneyland tickets has a dedicated shuttle that runs to and from Disneyland every hour. More information will be forthcoming about the venue and the many nearby attractions.
The 1.5 day symposium will feature numerous oral presentations, poster presentations, an awards luncheon as well an optional workshop and field trips the day prior to the symposium. Please click here to view full flyer with additional details.
Abstracts are due on March 21, 2014.
