DESCRIPTION:GGP Seminar by Dr. Todd Halihan\, "The Future of Water: Data o r Instincts?"\n\n\nSummary:\n\n\nMankind uses economics\, politics and ba sic instincts to make decisions about water. However\, the data on the hy drologic cycle suggests we are developing water incorrectly for two basic reasons. The first is our instincts are built upon water that is visible \, so we ignore evapotranspiration which causes salinization\, reduced wa ter availability\, and increased infrastructure costs. The second is our development of water preceded satellite data and computing power. This re sulted in ignoring complicated groundwater systems that need to be define d on the meter scale and adopting simple concepts like dams and center pi vot irrigation that do not require significant data management. A framewo rk to improve our water resources will be presented as well as some case studies on how these problems present themselves.\n\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\n\n Todd Halihan\, Ph.D.\, P.Gp.\, is a professor of geology at Oklahoma Stat e University and chief technical officer for Aestus LLC. His professional interests center in subsurface characterization and sustainable water su pply. Halihan has been an associate editor for Groundwater and has served as secretary-treasurer of the U.S. Chapter of the International Associat ion of Hydrogeologists. He currently serves on the Oklahoma governor’s Co ordinating Council on Seismic Activity.\n\n\nHalihan has worked on more t han 200 different research sites in more than 30 U.S. states and overseas . His international research work has occurred in Australia\, Bahamas\, B razil\, Mexico and South Africa\, and a number of other countries. He has also worked extensively in his home state of Oklahoma evaluating the wat er resources issues.\n\n\nHalihan is the recipient of the Karin and Rober t J. Sternberg Award for Excellence\, the Partners in Conservation Award from the U.S. Department of Interior and the Sterling L. Burks Award for Outstanding Environmental Research. He is a professional driller in the s tate of Oklahoma. He has provided input to stories on CBS\, Fox News\, NP R\, CNBC\, Popular Science\, The New Yorker and The New York Times.
