The Seventh Annual Western Groundwater Congress (WGC)

October 7-9, 2024
Lake Tahoe Everline Resort, Olympic Valley, CA

Theme: The Mountains are Calling...

Groundwater Resources Association (GRA) is excited to announce the 2024 Western Groundwater Congress (WGC): “The Mountains are calling…”. In 2023, we strived to bring EVERYONE to the table and emphasized that “the Future of Groundwater is YOU!” A future that requires collaborative efforts for building sustainable resources and community. In recent years, our groundwater community has experienced the undeniable impacts of climate extremes in the Western United States. In my view, this is Mother Nature prompting us into forward-thinking and preparing for the future.
 
The 7th WGC will be held on October 7-9, 2024, in the beautiful green mountains of Lake Tahoe at Everline Resort, Olympic Valley, CA. This year’s conference includes individual, panel and poster presentations, networking opportunities, and more. A draft conference agenda, including workshop sessions, will be available at the end of April. This year's exploration spans a wide range of topics, including the evolution of SGMA, enhancing the resilience of water supplies and infrastructure, addressing public health concerns related to emerging contaminants, navigating the evolving role of technology, ensuring environmental resilience, exploring financial strategies, and more.
 
As we answer the call of the mountains, we invite you to join this conversation. The WGC is more than a conference; it is an opportunity to actively shape the future of the groundwater community.  We are currently accepting abstracts that reflect your expertise, experiences, and solutions for addressing our industry’s challenges. Join us in the mountains for a conference that promises meaningful dialogue, practical insights, and a shared commitment to a sustainable future. The mountains are calling – will you answer?
