Interessante en gezellige avond vorige week bij deBuren. Zeer boeiend om met de Nederlandse collega's en het publiek in gesprek te gaan over de wateruitdagingen in de Lage Landen.

📣 Reminder time: Are you a talented postdoc with an innovative research idea? We are very happy to announce the 2nd call of our fantastic impACT programme VUB! impact-fellowship.eu

Wat een duik in het doorlopend hydrologisch neerslagtekort sinds 22 juli 👇 2023 is tot nog toe het jaar van de bokkensprongen in het weer (afwisselend zeer droge en natte periodes). Gemiddeld is de hydrologische balans sinds april terug in evenwicht ("normale" toestand)

Safely arrived in Cape Town, South Africa, eager to explore the stunning Mother City while gearing up for the IAH conference IAH Congress 2023! #CapeTownAdventures #IAHCapeTown

Back in the #Botswana #sand_rivers! ☀️🇧🇼☀️ The aim of this trip is to validate findings from study sites across Botswana and South Africa with people affected by #sand_mining and policymakers then co-develop work packages for a future proposal. 🗒️

Hosting my mentor and PhD promoter, the incredible Prof Marijke Huysmans, with my current group @HydrologyWur feels like a dream come true. Such an inspiring time spent together, learning and sharing insights. Grateful for this amazing experience! #PhDSupervisorVisit #WUR

Thank you for visiting us, Prof. Marijke Huysmans, and for your insights at our seminar and workshops on groundwater and drought. An honor to host you! #Collaboration #Inspiration #GroundwaterResearch #drought Wageningen U&R WUR Environmental @HydrologyWur

An immediate ceasefire to allow humanitarian corridors to be opened is essential.

Applications for the VUB & KU Leuven MSc in Water Resources Engineering (#IUPWARE) for the academic year 2024/2025 are now open! Here's everything you need to know: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Discussion open for comments: The impact of future climate projections and anthropogenic activities on basin-scale groundwater availability doi.org/10.5194/hess-2…

The future groundwater status is influenced more by anthropogenic factors than climatic factors. Check out our new manuscript (preprint) in the Hydrology and Earth System Sciences journal HESS Journal for more details. with Steven Rusli, AlbrechtWeerts, Victor Bense

Exciting new research alert! Our latest research shows that prolonged drought periods increase the intensity of floods in Southern Africa. Fulvio Franchi, Alessia Matanó, Dr. Anne Van Loon (she/her), Jean-Christophe Comte sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

MSc thesis successfully completed by Gaël Kobessen: Potential impact of #sand_mining on water resources. 💡 If you take the sand, you take the alluvial aquifer, you reduce recharge to deep geology. A combination of MODFLOW + hydrogeological & participatory fieldwork in Botswana.

New Publication Alert! Our latest article presents a finite-element groundwater flow model for open pit mines and co-created management strategies for safe mining operations and environmental impact mitigation. rdcu.be/dFUak @HosseinParsasadr Victor Bense
