2015 NGWA Groundwater Summit in San Antonio: Call for abstracts
National Ground Water Association
Groundwater is a resource to be protected. It ignores political boundaries, transports contaminants, floods mine and construction sites, spins communities into an uproar and can't be found when you need it. Model, explore, characterize, bank, inject, extract, treat and predict all your subsurface needs with everything groundwater at the 2015 NGWA Groundwater Summit. NGWA seeks abstracts on any topic related to groundwater science and practice. Submissions may address either broad or niche areas; research projects or case studies; management and policy challenges; and local to transboundary groundwater issues.

Monitoring can warn of impending slides — at a cost
The Seattle Times
Large landslides don't strike out of the blue. Unstable slopes almost always creep, slough and sag long before they let loose. Monitoring that movement can provide lifesaving warnings, though the approach is rarely used in the northwest. Monitoring, however, is costly. Few states have enough funds to even identify the most treacherous slopes.
