It may be useful for future groundwater management efforts to monitor both quantity and quality, and a combination of in situ measurements, knowledge of contaminant fate and transport, together with modeling of groundwater integrated with surface water could be needed. She also shared thoughts on developing lidar or sensor network systems to aid management of groundwater over time, and a potential national or global database on pathogens, antibiotic resistance gene, genome sequencing, and links to hydrology.

called participants attention back to the National Ground-Water Monitoring Network, specifically to consider how much more data may be needed, and how to ensure that newly collected data are "good" data in the context of decision-making. He pointed out that the United States is the most heavily monitored country in the International Soil Moisture Network, with an ongoing effort to create a database of the in situ soil moisture data in the United States.

Although this kind of effort would not include the most highly calibrated equipment, the data collected still have the potential to help inform decisions. As noted previously, irrigation is the main source of groundwater withdrawal in the United States, followed by public water supply.

Dr. Akanda wondered if the information on movement of rotavirus through groundwater is based on United States groundwater data, and if any studies exist in the developing world on this issue.

As an example of these collaborative scientific efforts, some participants suggested using a land use model based on SWOT to predict how land cover will affect groundwater recharge. 2 The Jevons paradox occurs when technological progress or government policy increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use)
