Water Wheel November/December 2010

Abstract

The call for papers is open for the next Biennial Conference of the Ground­ water Division of the Geological Society of South Africa. The conference, which is being organ­ ised in association with the International Association of Hydrogeologists, will beheld in Pretoria from 19 to 21 September with the theme ‘Groundwater: Our Source of Security in an Uncertain Future. ” Financial, economic and environ­ mental changes and uncertainty require innovative approaches to hydrogeological science and groundwater management. Delivery of services and environmental sustainability in the years to come will make ever­greater demands on ground­ water. This challenges hydrogeologists and fellow professionals to find new ways to progress, often with limited resources. Papers have been invited on the following topics: climate change and drought, dealing with uncertainty, water quality, merging science and policy, mapping and data, water and energy, and from pollution to remediation and protec­ tion, among others. The closing date for abstracts is 30 November.
