• The
2016 Critical Issues Forum took place on October 27-28, hosted by the Payne Institute for Earth Resources at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. The topic of the Forum was “
Addressing Changes in Regional Groundwater Resources: Lessons from the High Plains Aquifer”. The Forum was attended by a wide range of scientists, economists, water managers, policy experts, students, water industry professionals, and representatives from federal, state, and local agencies and organizations. The ideas, perspectives, approaches, lessons, and future outlooks discussed at the Forum will be made publicly available in a forthcoming report. You will also be able to watch videos of the speakers’ presentations as they become available on the
Forum website. In the coming months we will be maintaining a focus on groundwater resources with new case studies, factsheets, and additional web content.
