11th International Symposium on Managed Aquifer Recharge (ISMAR11)
Managed Aquifer Recharge, A Key to Sustainability. The International Symposium on Managed Aquifer Recharge (ISMAR) is the world’s preeminent symposium on managed aquifer recharge (MAR). With the continued unsustainable, overuse of groundwater in many areas of the world, managed aquifer recharge, or the intentional recharge of groundwater aquifers, has become more important than ever in recovering depleted aquifers and developing resilient groundwater supplies for the future
ISMAR started with the first Artificial Recharge of Groundwater Conference in 1988 in Anaheim, convened by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Since then, ISMAR symposia have been run jointly under the auspices of the ASCE, International Association of Hydrologists (IAH), and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). ISMAR is truly an international event, having been held in Orlando, Fl (1994), Amsterdam (1998), Adelaide, Australia (2002), Berlin (2005), Phoenix, AZ, (2007), Abu Dhabi (2010), Beijing (2013), Mexico City (2016), and Madrid (2019). ISMAR 11 is going to be held on April 11-15, 2022 at the Long Beach Hilton Hotel.
