NGWA International Conference on Non-renewable Groundwater Resources

Many areas of the world rely on non-renewable groundwater resources, defined here as aquifer systems whose replenishment rates are so small that, for all practical purposes, their development is unsustainable and will eventually deplete the available water in storage. With the specter of global warming casting a pall of uncertainty over future water supplies, it is imperative that these resources be managed wisely by sharing knowledge and learning from the experience of others who are dealing with these conditions and problems. To facilitate these interactions, NGWA, in association with the Institute for Water and Watersheds at Oregon State University, the International Hydrological Programme (IHP) of UNESCO, and The World Bank, is conducting the first international meeting on non-renewable groundwater resources.
