Meeting Notes Subsurface Water Storage Symposium

1 Meeting Notes Subsurface Water Storage Symposium Colorado State University November 15-16, 2016 Lory Student Center, Fort Collins, Colorado Dr. Tom Sale Focus Per the 2016 White House Water Summit, there is a need to shine a spotlight on the importance of cross-cutting, creative solutions to solving the water problems. Similar themes can be found in the State of Colorado s 2016 Water Plan, including storage as we conserve and in the commitments being made by water districts across Colorado and the western US. An emerging cross-cutting, creative solution is the use of subsurface water storage in conjunction with existing surface water systems. Subsurface water storage projects can simplify permitting for new storage, provide an economical alternative to surface storage, minimize environmental impacts of new water storage, enhance the resiliency of water systems, and conserve water by reducing seepage and evaporative losses. A one-and-a-half-day symposium addressing subsurface water storage will be held at Colorado State University (CSU) on November 15 and 16, The symposium is sponsored by the Colorado Water Center with support from the College of Engineering and the Warner College of Natural Resources. The focus of the meeting is to share emerging knowledge, collaboratively debate critical issues, and prioritize future work to address key water management challenges. Scope David Pyne will be the keynote speaker and guiding participant in the symposium. David Pyne is an internationally recognized leader in the field of subsurface water storage and is the widely acclaimed author of Groundwater Recharge and Wells: A Guide to Aquifer Storage Recovery (1995) and Aquifer Storage Recovery: A Guide to Groundwater Recharge (2005). Critical elements of the agenda for the first day include: 1) current best practices for subsurface water storage, 2) exploring water rights and permitting issues, 3) introducing new enabling technologies including research tools developed at CSU, and 4) sharing insights from active subsurface water storage projects. The first day will conclude with a group dinner in Fort Collins. On the second day, participants will convene in the morning to review

2 findings, identify constraints, and resolve areas for future study. Presentations (with permission from presenters) will be compiled along with meeting notes for distribution to meeting participants. The current agenda for the meeting is presented on the following page.
