5-6 Dec 2024 – Lisbon - Universidade Lusófona
14 Seminário sobre Águas Subterrâneas (14 Seminar on Groundwater)
State of the Art of Groundwater in Portugal. The 14th Groundwater Seminar (SAS) marks 30 years of biennial sessions (1993-2024) on groundwater, organized by the CEAS (Groundwater Committee of APRH - Portuguese Water Resources Association) and AIH-GP (Portuguese Chapter of IAH). This event aims to review past achievements, assess the current state of groundwater knowledge and management, and discuss future challenges and solutions. Key activities include round table discussions on the history of SAS, the state of the art in groundwater, and future perspectives, as well as thematic sessions covering various aspects of groundwater research and management.
Price: APRH or AIH members: €35; Non-members: €60; Students: €15
Organised by AIH-GP (Portuguese Chapter of IAH) and CEAS (Groundwater Committee of APRH - Portuguese Water Resources Association).

Ghana Association of Hydrogeologists First Virtual Training Session: Integrating R-tool with PHREEQC
PHREEQC Coupled with R-Tool for Geochemical Inverse Modelling. Exciting Announcement!
Dear Members,
The Webinar Committee of the Ghana Association of Hydrogeologists is delighted to introduce its first virtual training session, open to both members and non-members. This comprehensive 4-hour training will focus on integrating R-tool with PHREEQC, empowering you to:
Master Geochemical Modeling with PHREEQC & R-Tool:
- Speciation and saturation index calculations
- Equilibrium and kinetic reactions
- Redox and acid-base reactions
- Sorption and desorption modeling
- Water-rock interaction simulations
- Groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling
- Surface water and groundwater interaction studies
- Water quality assessment and prediction
By the end of the training, you will be able to:
- Understand water-rock interactions
- Analyze surface water contributions to groundwater recharge
- Master geochemical modeling
- Enhance skills in contaminant transport modeling
- Network with peers
To prepare for this training:
- Download PHREEQC and R-tool (free) before the training
- Familiarize yourself with both tools
- Review basic geochemical concepts
Training Details:
- Date: 6th December 2024

11-25 Feb 2025 – Online
SEG Online Workshop: Improving Understanding and Treatment of Uncertainty in Groundwater Science and Management
Scheduled for February 11, 18, and 25, 2025. The workshop, hosted by SEG (Society of Exploration Geophysicists), will feature three 5-hour sessions, with a focus on modeling, parameterization, and practical applications of uncertainty in hydrogeology and hydrogeophysics.
This workshop will raise global awareness of understanding, quantifying, managing, and communicating uncertainty in groundwater studies and identify research imperatives and best practices that industry practitioners and researchers can adopt.
Hydrogeologists and hydrogeophysicists aim at characterizing the subsurface regarding its hydrogeological and geophysical properties and geometries. We see potential for inter-disciplinary learning by recognizing the relationship between hydrogeological and hydrogeophysical properties, conceptual approaches, analytical solutions, algorithms, and assumptions involved in modelling the subsurface in both disciplines.
Groundwater consulting practice has to cater to the clients’ need for certainty and too often resorts to deterministic solutions. Uncertainties arising from the estimation of either hydrogeologic or hydrogeophysical properties are often not fully understood and rarely systematically accounted for. Yet, a realistic and transparent estimate of uncertainty is crucial to build trust in model outcomes and inform the client’s groundwater-based planning. Therefore, improving our understanding of this uncertainty is a pressing issue attracting increased interest by all stakeholders. With this workshop, we aim to identify practical approaches for a more complete treatment of uncertainty in groundwater science and management.Price: US$200 Professional Registration Fee (Member and Non-member), US$20 Student Registration Fee (Member and Non-member)

28 Apr - 2 May 2025 – Stellenbosch, South Africa
12th International Symposium on Managed Aquifer Recharge (ISMAR 12)
From Theory to Implementation and Operation. The 12th International Symposium on Managed Aquifer Recharge (ISMAR12) will be held in the wine heartland of South Africa, Stellenbosch, from 28 April to 2 May 2025. The main theme “From Theory to Implementation and Operation” places the focus on the latest research, implementation of MAR sites and the practicality of operating MAR schemes. The 8 Sub-themes cover multiple aspects in the field of MAR in the domestic/municipal, agricultural, and mining sectors. Oral and Poster presentations, multiple workshops and social interactions will allow the delegates to present innovative solutions and discuss pressing societal challenges. Various exhibit opportunities and sponsoring opportunities exist. Pre-conference courses will allow the delegates to gain practical knowledge for our expert presenters. 3 end-of-the-week excursions are planned to showcase the latest MAR sites and the landscape of the Cape Town and Saldanha areas with networking opportunities.
Organised by IAH, ASCE, UNESCO.
