April 23, 2008 - Sacramento, CA
Join the GRA Members, the California Groundwater Coalition and a distinguished list of legislators, regulators and Administration officials in the Capitol, as we ask the question... If we had all the money we need for groundwater storage, including additional recycled water, how much water supply could we really develop?

GRA Vadose Zone Hydrology, Contamination, and Modeling Course
June 9-11, 2008 - Los Angeles, CA
The objective of the Course is to introduce the principles of vadose zone flow and transport, including gas and multiphase transport phenomena (VOCs); to discuss field characterization and monitoring techniques appropriate for model data collection; to introduce common modeling techniques and their limitations; and to provide hands-on experience with several commonly used one- and multidimensional computer models for vadose flow, transport, and multiphase flow.

GRA Introduction to Practical Statistics Workshop
September 24, 2008 - Costa Mesa, CA
Lets face it, statistics wasn't your favorite course in college. It didn't seem to connect with real life, or even ground water science. But now you need to make sense of your data. This workshop will help those jilted by statistics to be reconciled.
