12-15 Nov 2018 – Salamanca, Spain
Iberian Congress on Groundwater, Environment, Health and Heritage
IAH's Spanish and Portuguese national chapters will be partnering to organise the Iberian Congress on Groundwater, Environment, Health and Heritage, to be held in Salamanca (Spain) between 12-15th of November 2018.
OBJETIVOS
En el marco de este evento se tratarán temas que han sido objeto de congresos o seminarios por separado, pero que están íntimamente relacionados. La relación entre el agua subterránea y el medio ambiente es evidente en los ecosistemas, muchos de los cuales forman parte del Patrimonio Natural a preservar para generaciones venideras. Estos aspectos, y otros que tienen que ver con la cantidad y calidad de las aguas subterráneas, inciden en la salud humana. El presente congreso pretende ser un foro de debate, en el que especialistas de diversos campos presenten sus experiencias y contribuyan a buscar soluciones a los retos planteados sobre los temas objeto del mismo.
