27-29 Nov 2024 – Tecnológico de Monterrey, Monterrey Campus
Groundwater Symposium of the International Association of Hydrogeologists, Mexico Chapter
Groundwater Interaction. In a world of rapid change, groundwater is a vital resource facing increasing pressure. To predict future trends, it is crucial to understand how groundwater relates to rivers, lakes, and ecosystems, and how it reacts to extreme weather events and urban growth, taking advantage of efficient technological advances.
Sustainable management strategies must consider the multiple connections within the water-food-energy-ecosystems link, and can only be developed in close collaboration between stakeholders and society at large.
At the Groundwater Symposium of the IAH Mexico Chapter, we will promote interactions between the academic community, industry, public administration, non-profit and international organizations, as well as general stakeholders to share knowledge and address these challenges.
Immerse yourself in an event full of knowledge with keynotes, panel discussions, keynotes, poster sessions, and student sessions. Also, don't miss the interesting courses that will be taught before and after the symposium!
Join experts, academics, and students to explore the challenges and solutions in groundwater management.
Get ready for an enriching and inspiring experience!
Important Dates:
Deadline for receipt of abstracts – August 31
Issuance of Letters of Acceptance – September 15.Price: See website for Symposium prices
Organised by IAH Mexico Chapter.
