ONLINE EVENT

The first ever Groundwater Project Event will be 100% online between the 3rd and 26th of February 2021. A series of meetings and discussions will be promoted, addressing relevant and innovative themes presented by the best references in hydrogeology in the world.

The event will be broadcasted on the Groundwater Project YouTube channel and the public will be able to interact with the speakers through the live chat. All presentations will be broadcasted in English or with English subtitles.

Our meeting aims to involve the largest global groundwater community in the world! Through our panels and discussions we will build relationships, share experiences, engage people and learn about groundwater!

Join us and tell all of your colleagues about it. Let's share groundwater education around the globe!

GW-Project Testimonials

Shihab Uddin (Civil Engineer from Bangladesh)

"It would not have been possible for me to read the Groundwater book if wasn't open to all for download. So when I was reading the book I felt try to contribute to the project"

Enock Obwon (Hydrogeologist from Uganda)

"I come from a semiarid area where basically groundwater is like gold for us".

Michael Van Til Civil Engineer based in Denmark

"We’re quite lucky in that regard because we’ve got quite a lot of both confined and unconfined aquifers with very high quality drinking water. So most cases, specially water pump from the deeper aquifers there’s no need for chlorination".

Ana González - Environmental Engineer from Paraguay

"Me llena mucho porque no hay una distinción entre idiomas e idiomas. Sino que se busca que todos tengan la misma oportunidad de acceder a la información, que es tan importante".

Joaquín Meza - Professor at the University Santa Maria in Chile

"For me this project is really important because groundwater plays a fundamental part in the hydrologic cycle but unfortunately people cannot understand, they ignore or misunderstand".

Zoran Stevanovic - Professor at the University of Belgrade

"We should try as much as we can to get access to our knowledge and publications to those who are not able to pay. I’m voting for this kind of democratization of science".

"People in South Africa know a little about groundwater, but not the whole story. So I think the Groundwater Project will help fill in the gaps so we can all talk from the same level".
