With the overall theme “GROUNDWATER AND LIFE : Science and Technology into Action”, nine main topics have been defined. Mid-congress excursions are proposed to limestone caves, a national geopark, curative springs, a wetland conservation area and the national groundwater information centre. Pre- and post-congress training courses and excursions are being planned.
