GREETINGS FROM THE IAH Welcome to Waterloo! I’d like to add my warm welcome to the 2015 Canadian Chapter Conference of the International Association of Hydrogeologists. The writer Mark Twain once quipped, “Go to heaven for the good climate, to hell for the good company.” Being from southern Nevada where our summertime temperatures often exceed 45 degrees C, I consider myself a connoisseur of good company. And there is very good company at this conference. Our good company includes many world-class and expert hydrogeologists, hydrologists, scientists, engineers, consultants, agency officials, and scholars lined up to give inspired and insightful presentations on groundwater. We live in remarkable times of important challenges. Going to heaven for the good climate as Twain suggested would be okay if the climate of paradise were not changing. The year 2014 saw the highest temperatures averaged over land and sea since record keeping began in 1880 (excepting maybe 2015 so far) and the lowest water levels in some of our reservoirs in drought plagued areas. I can speak of these challenges first hand, coming from an area with falling water tables, subsiding land surfaces, and declining hopes for a sustainable groundwater supply. Canada has significant challenges and perhaps opportunities as well as it injects increasing amounts of wastewaters into deep subsurface systems, which may irrevocably alter their future use for fresh water resources. Throughout the world groundwater systems are increasingly stressed, with very real human and ecological consequences. But beyond a shadow of a drought, there is hope for continuing clean groundwater supply, and much of that hope lies with you, the dedicated members of IAH. Canada has been an undisputed world leader in groundwater research, innovation, and hydrophilanthropy, and this meeting brings together hydrogeologists on the forefront of fundamental advances in the field. The unparalleled level of original research and novel technological approaches which will be presented at the IAH-CNC 2015 Waterloo Conference will undoubtedly assist all those who attend. I’m excited, as I hope you are, to gain new perspectives and techniques to help improve the world’s human and ecological condition. Dave Kreamer North American Vice President International Association of Hydrogeologists IAH-CNC 2015 WATERLOO CONFERENCE 5
