This event continues a longstanding series of symposia originating in Arizona in 1978 and rotating every two years between Arizona and California. Past conferences have included talks on integrated water management, groundwater governance, regulation and management, economics, water quality, operational matters, monitoring and modeling, water reclamation technologies for MAR, alternative recharge systems, adaptation to climate change, MAR and land subsidence, and aquifer thermal energy storage.
