Towards Sustainability
The concern for Texas’ groundwater supplies has caused our state legislature to consider making significant changes in groundwater law. As a Texan, it is important for you to understand the potential new laws surrounding this viable water source in our state. As a service to you, a 3-day groundwater conference entitled Texas Groundwater 2004 will be held November 17-19, 2004, at the Texas State Capitol Extension in Austin, Texas. Important state leaders will be on hand to provide information and feedback to participants on our proposed new groundwater policy.
The conference will address such issues as the following:
- Texas aquifer science
- Groundwater technology
- State policy issues
In addition, the conference will offer roundtable discussions on current water research, provide exhibits for participants, hold a poster contest for students, and offer continuing education courses in groundwater management techniques.
