Symposium "Groundwater Exploration: State of the Art and Beyond" (May 2008)
Fugro, the Dutch Association of Hydrologists (NHV) and Sea Spring Water will host a symposium on the analytical and applied geophysical methods in groundwater exploration. The symposium aims to present both current and near-future methods, to discuss how data collection and computational methods should work together, and what lessons can be learned from the past. Exploration experts from various private and public organisations will deliver lectures and in the evening various exploration and sounding methods will be presented in the field. The event is held on May 22 2008, and hosted at Landgoed De Horst in Driebergen.
