ISMAR12 in South Africa

From April 28 to May 2, the 12th International Symposium on Managed Aquifer Recharge took place in Stellenbosch, South Africa. With two presentations, we were able to present both our pilot plant and the quality monitoring of rivers to assess their suitability for MAR. The exchange with scientists from various countries on their experiences with ongoing MAR plants and current research issues was particularly exciting. The transfer of practical experience was repeatedly highlighted as one of the key tasks, which is also central to our work in the final year of the project. We are very grateful for the numerous new contacts and for having gained an insight into the South African culture and its water management!
