| 3. | [ID=183734]Managing Water in a Climate Changing World |
| 17 Sep 2008 → 20 Sep 2008; Portland, Oregon, United States |
| abstract: Accelerating changes in the global climate are changing the way water is managed in the American West. Some of the resulting impacts, such as increased crop water demands, are only beginning to be felt, while others, such as earlier melting of mountain snowpacks, are already well advanced. Water managers will increasingly be confronted with decision situations where old rules and old expectations no longer apply, and new design practices, new operating rules, new management practices, and even new legislation altering water management policies and water rights, will be required. This conference is designed to help prepare water managers for these changes.

| 6. | [ID=183094]NGWA International Conference on Nonrenewable Ground Water Resources |
| 13 Oct 2008 → 15 Oct 2008; Portland, Oregon, United States |
| abstract: The NGWA International Conference on Nonrenewable Ground Water Resources — Sociotechnological Aspects of Nonrenewable Ground Water Resources: Half-Empty, Hall-Full, Top-Down, Bottom-Up, and Some Paths Forward will take place in Portland, Oregon, October 13-14, 2008. Many areas of the world rely on nonrenewable ground water 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 we manage these resources wisely by sharing our knowledge and learning from the experience of others who are dealing with these conditions and problems. |
