GRA is excited to host an event focused on the Future of Water. To increase water resiliency, there is a need for constant improvement, risk taking, and collaboration. It will require leading edge technology and new or future methods for monitoring, remote sensing, communication, modeling, data science, addressing water quality threats, water planning and water markets. A wide range of topics will be in the Future of Water related to monitoring groundwater for usage, water quality, water availability, and water and aquifer characteristics. GRA’s Conference Planning Committee invites you to submit abstracts for presentations or posters on the topics listed below to fill out the curated program that includes invited speakers and organized discussion panel.
Abstracts must be received by November 30, 2020.
GRA Event information can be found here.
