Innovative Tools for Ground Water Characterization
Although recent decades have witnessed remarkable advances in ground water characterization, researchers continue their endless quest for better methods. As technologies develop and diversify, it becomes more important than ever that those involved in this search have an opportunity to learn from each other’s experiences. This panel invites papers relating to all aspects of ground water characterization in order to provide a broad forum for the exchange of ideas and case studies.
