Moving from siloed conversations to collaborative efforts by bringing together state regulators, federal officials, academia, industry, end users and other interested stakeholders. This forum will initiate discussions in each panel session to drill deeper into challenges and opportunities for produced water reuse. Sessions will include research and technology, regulatory, and end-user potential.  At the end of this workshop, participants will help determine next steps together… studies, workgroups, publications, activities.

About Us

The Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC) is a nonprofit 501(c)6 organization whose members consist of state ground water regulatory agencies which come together within the GWPC organization to mutually work toward the protection of the nation’s ground water supplies. The purpose of the GWPC is to promote and ensure the use of best management practices and fair but effective laws regarding comprehensive ground water protection.

Our mission is to promote the protection and conservation of ground water resources for all beneficial uses, recognizing ground water as a critical component of the ecosystem. We provide an important forum for stakeholder communication and research in order to improve governments’ role in the protection and conservation of groundwater.
