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).
Price: 100 USD
Organised by Institute of Geology Malaysia (IGM) in collaboration with Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN).

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.

International Riverbank Filtration Conference – ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 31 JULY 2023!
Bank Filtration / Riverbank Filtration. Bank filtration / riverbank filtration (BF/RBF) is an element of managed aquifer recharge and has been used by riverside communities for many decades as a natural water treatment process. RBF forms part of a multi-barrier approach to drinking water supply at numerous sites. With a growing and conscious use worldwide, RBF will become more important to safeguard future water supplies for drinking, irrigation and industries. The conference marks the return of a platform after two decades to showcase worldwide operational experience and research and to increase the level of awareness on RBF. The conference offers two days of oral and poster presentations on 16 and 17 October and an excursion to RBF schemes on 18 October.
Reasons to attend
- Showcase your experience and research on RBF
- Inform yourself about ongoing RBF projects, research, networks and innovative solutions
- Expand your process understanding and knowledge of technical solutions for RBF systems
- Hear about experiences from operators and managers of RBF schemes
- Exchange ideas about RBF research approaches and needs
- Avail the opportunity to publish your conference contribution in a topical collection of the journal “Sustainable Water Resources Management”
Abstract submissions are encouraged for oral and poster presentations on country-specific overviews on the use of RBF and recent developments; clogging, hydraulic and design aspects of RBF schemes; innovative site-investigation techniques for RBF; operation and management of RBF schemes; water quality aspects of RBF; post-treatment; environmental, social, economic and policy aspects and awareness-creation. The selected oral and poster presentations will carry equal weight and will qualify for submission as an article or a short case-study to a topical collection of the Springer journal “Sustainable Water Resources Management”. The best poster presentations will be awarded. Oral presentation slots are limited as there will be no parallel sessions. Abstracts (free format) for oral/poster presentations can be sent before 31 July 2023 to: rbfconf@htw-dresden.de. Late submission of poster presentations is also possible until 31 August 2023.Price: Registration by/before 31 August 2023: 320 Euro, or for students and PhD researchers 160 Euro. Registration on/after 01 September 2023: 360 Euro, or for students and PhD researchers 200 Euro.
