Conference Background
The next national groundwater conference 'Groundwater 2010 – the Challenge of Sustainable Management', is to be held in Canberra at the National Convention Centre between 31st October and 4th November 2010. This event will focus on the sustainable management of groundwater resources in Australia, and is being organised jointly by the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) and the Geological Society of Australia (GSA). The Platinum sponsor of the event is the National Water Commission. Mr Don Blackmore AM is the conference Chair, Dr Ken Lawrie (GSA) is the conference convenor, and the co-convenor is Mr Philip Commander (IAH).
The conference will offer a unique opportunity for groundwater scientists, water managers and planners from across the country to meet, present, and discuss critical groundwater management issues, particularly the unique challenges posed by extreme drought and future climate change. To facilitate interaction, the conference has been structured with science, management and policy streams supported by workshops and forums designed to activate discussion on specific groundwater challenges. With the inception of a new National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training, it is also an appropriate time for a national conference on groundwater management issues, which will provide direction to the centre research.
Papers from elsewhere in Australasia will also be accommodated within the program, particularly where these focus on the application of new science methods and technologies for the assessment and management of groundwater resources.
