Report - Sustainable Groundwater Management for Agriculture
Sustainable Groundwater Management for Agriculture, a World Wildlife Fund report which the GIWS contributed to, has been released.
This report consolidates what is needed for sustainable groundwater management into four basic principles: 1 ) Measure and Manage; 2) Set Sustainable Limits; 3) Recharge and Replenish; and 4) Reduce Demand and Maintain Balance. An easy-to-read literature review, this report provides examples of successful solutions from all over the world.

Ripple effect: As global freshwater basins dry up, the threat to ecosystems and communities grows
by GIWS PhD student Xander Huggins
When people use freshwater beyond a physically sustainable rate, it sets off a cascade of impacts on ecosystems, people and the planet. These impacts include groundwater wells running dry, fish populations becoming stranded before they are able to spawn and protected wetland ecosystems turning into dry landscapes.

In the quest to find clean, renewable sources of energy, we turn to a familiar method: hydroelectricity. Today, the ancient method of harnessing the power of flowing water is hitting enormous new heights. Hydroelectric dams are some of the biggest human-made structures in the world. As humans dam more and more rivers, the scale and sheer size of these structures continues to grow.
But in trying to meet our future electrical demand, are we pursuing a technology that is harming communities, rivers and environments?

The Canadian Geophysical Union (CGU) Annual Meeting will be held over a 4-day period, 7-10 May, 2023 and we are meeting in person, back in Banff. We hope that this Congress will bring all of the CGU community together. We will also be joined in 2023 by the Canadian Society of Agricultural and Forestry Meteorology (CSAFM).
At this time, we invite proposals for scientific sessions, either in your particular area of expertise and interest or in broad, general interest, topic areas. Sessions may be proposed for either oral or poster presentation by editing the attached template. Oral sessions will be organized into 90-minute blocks of six 15-minute presentations, or one 30-minute lead presentation followed by four 15-minute presentations. We ask you to identify your primary section affiliation (hydrology, biogeociences, geodesy, Solid Earth or CSAFM) and if appropriate a joint session partner section.
Please submit your session proposals, using the format indicated on the template, by email to
info@cgu-ugc.ca no later than December 15th.
