Groundwater Land Use Symposium
October 29, 2014 ♦ Clovis, California
The Correlation between Land Use and Groundwater. Can We Plan our way to a Sustainable Groundwater Supply?
Continued population growth and changing cropping patterns place additional stress on local groundwater supplies in the San Joaquin Valley. Managing groundwater to meet current and future needs is a significant challenge in the region. The purpose of the Groundwater Land Use Symposium is to connect the local land-use planning community with water resource managers to discuss regional groundwater conditions and issues and evaluate how land-use decisions can have positive or negative impacts on the regional groundwater supply.
