IGCP 565 Workshop 5: Water Security for Africa: Bringing Together Research, Monitoring, and Managing
October 29-30, 2012
Johannesburg, South Africa |

Workshop Program:
The first day of the final IGCP 565 Project Workshop will focus on the science of hydrogeodesy and its relevance for water security in Africa. The second day will present specific projects that contributed to IGCP 565 goals of using hydrogeodesy to regional water cycle studies, and then move on to the challenges for application of hydrogeodesy in regional water management in Africa. The final session will be devoted to a forward look and the potential of hydrogeodesy for improving water safety in Africa.
The program below is very preliminary and both session titles and individual presentation titles are likely to change over the next weeks. Participants are urged to submit abstracts for contributed presentations as soon as possible to allow for a development of the program.
In addition to the two-day workshop, IGCP 565 is also organizing a Tutorial Session on hydrogeodesy in the frame of the program of the WaterNet Symposium. More information on the tutorial will be made available here soon.
