INOWAS Summer School on MAR

During the 2nd International INOWAS Summer School on MAR 2017, the participants will learn about the benefits of managed aquifer recharge as a component of sustainable water management strategies. Different MAR techniques will be presented from a practical perspective and the participants will be able to design, simulate and discuss different aspects of MAR implementation. Beside technical issues, an overview will be provided on the financial and economic aspects of MAR, as well as legal regulations and policies. The technical trips to MAR schemes in Pirna, Dresden and Berlin will round up the two-weeks summer school programme.

Participants

The content of the summer school is designed for early career scientists, professionals and representatives of ministries, water service operators, academic and research institutions, with background in hydrogeology, hydrology, water management and environmental sciences. The summer school is especially relevant for participants that are already confronted in their work with overexploited aquifers, saltwater intrusion, and water reuse. Together with the application, a short description of your current work must be provided (max 1 page), in which you need to emphasize the main water-related challenges in your country or in your work (if possible, please try to already identify if managed aquifer recharge could be an option for you and explain why). Applications from developing countries will be given priority, previous experience with groundwater modeling and GIS will be considered advantage but is not a requirement.

Costs

Participation to INOWAS Summer School 2017 is free of charge, including accommodation on TUD campus, lunch and coffee breaks, lectures’ handouts, and technical trips. The participants must cover travel costs including visa and travel/health insurance (a limited number of travel scholarships will be provided).
