Reuniting the Hydrologic Cycle: Groundwater-Surface Water Interaction
Tuesday January 28, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am CST
Amphitheater 204, Meeting Level 2
Groundwater and surface water are interconnected and interactive in many parts of Texas. However, this relationship is not always reflected in how we measure, manage, and allocate our water resources, from water rights and laws to planning to technical tools; these waters are treated differently. What can we do to better understand the intimate connection between our aquifers, lakes, and rivers? Join this discussion to explore the challenges of managing separated waters and the opportunities to reunite the hydrologic cycle to ensure a secure water future for Texas.
