SMART-Control – free web-based tools to plan and optimize managed aquifer recharge facilities
Assessing the risks associated with managed aquifer recharge using web-based simulation tools. A series of online seminars will be dedicated to the presentation of several web-based tools developed in the WaterJPI project SMART-Control (https://www.smart-control.inowas.com) for the assessment of risks associated with managed aquifer recharge. SMART-Control - Smart framework for real-time monitoring and control of subsurface processes in managed aquifer recharge (MAR) applications - is a Water JPI project funded under the 2017 Joint Call on “Water resource management in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals”, as part of the CSA IC4WATER (http://www.waterjpi.eu/implementation/supporting-projects/csa-ic4water).

IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition
Water for smart liveable cities. This edition of the IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition will engage stakeholders and key contacts within the conventional water sector and beyond. It will bring together core water sector groups, such as those focused on urban water and urban water services, as well as participants from industry and agriculture, architects and urban planners, soil and groundwater experts and hydrologists, social scientists, the ICT sector, the financial sector, and others. With a strong representation and contribution from Nordic and Baltic Sea countries, the IWA Congress & Exhibition is a vital opportunity to learn about the Nordic water challenges and solutions, including participation in technical site visits.
Organised by IWA.

LuWQ2022 – 5th International Conference on LAND USE and WATER QUALITY: Agriculture and the Environment
LuWQ2022 is an interdisciplinary conference on the cutting edge of science, management and policy to minimise effects of agriculture and land use changes on the quality of groundwater and surface waters. The conference aims to discuss the entire ’policy cycle’ to enable enhancing the quality of the water environment, which includes problem recognition, formulation of technical options, policy formulation, interaction between policy makers and stakeholders (i.e. pressure groups), policy implementation, monitoring and research. The conference also aims to facilitate networking opportunities and to intensify contacts (a) between soil/water related scientists, agro related scientists, social scientists, ecological scientists and economists, and (b) between scientists, water managers and policy makers.
The conference themes and topics are characterised by the following keywords: agronomy, agro-economics, agro-sociology, water management, water policy, hydrology, aquatic ecosystems, terrestrial ecosystems, unsaturated zone, groundwater, surface waters, drinking water, monitoring, modelling, water quality, nutrients, pesticides and other organic agrochemicals, heavy metals.
To give you a feeling for the essence of Land Use and Water Quality (LuWQ) conferences… The key strength of the conference is twofold. On the one side, LuWQ has a well-defined narrow focus on ‘agriculture and water quality’. On the other side, the conference is broadly oriented with regard to the various professional disciplines related to the conference topics. Based on the experience from previous Land Use and Water Quality conferences, it is just the diversity in professional background of participants which results in a multi-faceted conference programme. Consequently, LUWQ offers sessions on a broad variety of topics, all of them however dedicated exclusively to agriculture and water quality. In this sense, the conference topics range – to illustrate by a few randomly chosen examples – from scientific research on denitrification and travel time, …, challenges in monitoring and modelling at different scale (parcels, field, region), …, practice-oriented and technical measures to limit leaching of nutrients and agrochemicals, …, development of management options to mitigate effects on water quality in drinking-water protection areas, including cooperation between local governments, water supply companies and farmers, …, to policy development, and lessons to be learned from policy implementation, e.g. comparison of farmers’ behaviour between top-down and bottom-up implementation of agri-environmental measures.Organised by Organised by RIVM National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, the Netherlands (principle organiser); Aarhus University (DCE and Department of Bioscience), Denmark; Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS); and Umweltbundesamt (UBA), German Environment Agency, Germany. IAH is Scientific Sponsor of the conference.

18-23 Sep 2022 – Wuhan, China
49th IAH Congress, China
Groundwater Sustainability and Poverty Reduction. The theme of the 49th IAH Congress is “Groundwater Sustainability and Poverty Reduction”. Poverty reduction is a top priority for most countries in the world. Unfortunately, most of the poor countries and regions have been faced with serious problems of water scarcity and contamination. It is the mission and ultimate responsibility of the international community of hydrogeologists to help the people get access to sustainable safe supply of fresh groundwater. With your active participation to share your ideas, experiences and knowledge, we believe this congress in China will be a great success, and look forward to meeting you in in Wuhan!.
