DESSIN presentation at Iberian conference on hydrogeology

DESSIN scientist Marta Hernandez held a presentation at the Iberian conference on hydrogeology, which was organized by the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) and took place in Valencia, Spain at the beginning of September. The about 110 attendees consisted of members of the scientific community, students and technicians from the National Geological Survey (IGME institute). The aim of the conference was to meet and share different experiences of the research and demonstration projects on hydrogeology carried out by Spanish researchers.

The DESSIN presentation took place in the session about Managed Aquifer Recharge. Marta Hernandez describes her contribution. ”I presented the case study of Barcelona and the first results we obtained in the preliminary tasks, comparing the water quality of pre-potable water in Sant Joan Despí waste water treatment plants with previous experiences worldwide. Moreover, I also presented the geological profiles we obtained during the drilling works carried out in July 2014.”

The presentation of the ASR system in Barcelona was followed with interest by the rest of participants and DESSIN was introduced positively to the Spanish hydrogeological community.
