Ghana Association of Hydrogeologist Webinar Series
Groundwater for National and Sustainable Development: A call for an Accelerated Change. The socio-economic activities taking place around the world are directly impacted by groundwater. Unsustainable groundwater management is expensive and places a strain on both government and non-governmental budgets for groundwater development. Nevertheless, despite the growing negative effects, efforts to develop more efficient and sustainable groundwater supplies continue. Groundwater for national and sustainable development one of the backbones of thriving economies is experiencing uncertainty, buffeted by limited groundwater research, limited data, geopolitical factors, etc. that stand in the way of accelerating change and adopting sustainable water development practises. Through targeted research, teaching, and learning, government and non-governmental agencies can mitigate these factors and play a key role in driving a global shift to groundwater management and sustainability.
Join the Ghana Association of Hydrogeologists (GhAH) for fascinating discoveries that could help accelerate change in how water is used and managed. Below are the details of the Zoom link for the webinar, and above is the poster.
Yours Faithfully,

21-24 Aug 2023 – National Energy Centre Hall, UNITEN, Malaysia
2023 Asia-Pacific Coastal Aquifer Management Meeting
The 2023 APCAMM will be held Malaysia, an ideal location for the event due to its expansive coastline and diverse coastal aquifer systems. With many coastal areas in Malaysia heavily dependent on groundwater resources for daily use, the management of coastal groundwater issues has become a significant concern. The challenges faced by the country are compounded by issues such as over-extraction, pollution, and rising sea levels. To address these difficulties, Malaysia will host the APCAMM in 2023, which will bring together experts, policymakers, and community representatives to collaborate, share best practices, and develop innovative solutions for effective coastal aquifer management. This conference will enable coordinated efforts and partnerships aimed at addressing critical coastal groundwater issues, benefiting both Malaysia and international participants. The conference will be organized by the Institute of Geology Malaysia (IGM) in collaboration with Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN). Both organisations are represented as the national organizing committee, supported by Department of Mineral and Geoscience (JMG) Malaysia, National Water Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT).

17-22 Sep 2023 – Cape Town, South Africa
IAH 50th Worldwide Groundwater Congress
Groundwater: A Matter of Scale. In 2023, we come together as hydrogeologists at the southern point of Africa. We offer extraordinary cuisine, a diverse culture, large parks, biomes from deserts to tropical forests, and - most importantly - South African hospitality. South Africa and Cape Town are extraordinary destinations and accessible from most international airports.
The 50th Congress of the International Association of Hydrogeologists will be hosted at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in Cape Town, South Africa from 17 to 22 September 2023. Excluding council meetings in Pretoria in 2011, it is the third on the continent after Cape Town in 2000 and Marrakech in 2014. Following congresses in Brazil in South America, Belgium in Europe, China in Asia, and now South Africa in Africa, this is the fourth continent for an IAH congress in four years.
In 2023, we celebrate the early careers and their importance in the development of the IAH and the hydrogeology profession. We celebrate the growth into younger membership. In 2023, we look at growing membership. We call for new members, but also for new chapters, groups, and networks. Groundwater affects the entire planet. Our community is growing, but it should also expand into new countries and scientific developments.
Research, modelling and consulting work is developing at discrete scales right through to regional scale work related to the critical zone and transboundary aquifers. Data starts at the molecular level and moves to “big data”. We up-scale data and we down-scale data. Datapoints become temporal data. And we govern at different scales of involvement. So, in 2023, we look at Groundwater: A Matter of Scale.
We invite you all to join us in-person in Cape Town in 2023. Abstract submission is now open!

24-27 Sep 2023 – Marsa Alam Egypt
6-th International Symposium & Field Workshop Living with Environmental Challenges in the Coastal Zones
Living with Environmental Challenges in the Coastal Zones. Coastal zones around the world are under increasing threat of freshwater scarcity, due to both over-exploitation of groundwater resources and climatic changes. The rising demand for freshwater in coastal areas and small oceanic islands, combined with sea level rise and longer dry periods, could cause collapse situations, inducers of serious humanitarian crises. This session seeks to highlight the importance of coastal aquifers management in a context of climate change, considering the increasing demand due economic reasons, the over-exploration of water resources, especially in arid regions, and groundwater salinization processes.
Organised by The Egyptian Society of Environmental Change.

GeoSaskatoon2023
The Saskatoon Geotechnical Group, the North Saskatchewan Section of the Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) is delighted to announce GeoSaskatoon2023 to be held at the TCU Place Convention Centre in Saskatoon, Oct 1-4, 2023.
The conference will proceed with the participation of Partner Organisations, the International Geosynthetics Society – North America (IGS-NA) and the International Association of Hydrogeologists – Canadian National Chapter (IAH-CNC).
Being held in the “City of Bridges” in the beautiful valley of the South Saskatchewan River, the theme of the conference is “bridging”. Bridging research & practice, bridging theory & experience, and above all, bridging different areas of practice. Geotechnical practice is often characterized as being distinct in the separate sectors of Infrastructure and Resources, however so many lessons can be learned, and experiences shared when we focus on the similarities, differences, and synergies in different areas of geotechnical, geosynthetics and hydrogeological practice.
Join Colleagues from across North America Oct 1-4, 2023, to share experiences, opportunities, and ideas, to renew old friendships and make new ones, and yes, to enjoy some Saskatoon berry pie!. -
