Greetings,
With this email I would like to announce the Webex which will follow on from our E-discussion on cost-effective boreholes on the 11th December at 15:00 central European time.
It will involve key questions and responses from panel comprising:
· John Chilton of the International Association of Hydrogeologists
· Baffo Bello of Forta Water in Nigeria (private sector driller)
· Dr Peter Harvey of UNICEF (East and Southern Africa)
· Dr Alice Aureli of UNCESCO
· Thato Setloboko of the Government of Botswana
We shall be posing this group key questions in relation to five of the key issues that came out of the E-discussion (see page 15 in the E-discussion summary - http://www.rural-water-supply.net/en/resources/details/423):
· Ensuring high quality drilling supervision
· Policies where drillers are not paid for dry wells (no water no pay)
· Effective regulation of water well drilling
· How to improve the collection and management of groundwater data
· Manual drilling
You will also have a chance to propose questions and issues to the audience.
We are limited to 200 participants. If you would like to attend, please register with Robert Kerins (rke...@unicef.org) by Friday 7th December. Robert will provide you with the link to the webex.
We look forward to continuing the discussions and seeing how groundwater development can be vastly improved.
Smiles,
Kerstin
