At the closing ceremony of IAH 49 held in China, the groundwater torch was passed to South Africa to host IAH 50. We congratulate the conference organisers on hosting a successful conference under the trying circumstances posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Congress theme for IAH 50 is Groundwater: A Matter of Scale. This theme combines scientific advances through local to global scale experiments and case studies, with those extending over various temporal scales.

Dear Members
We have been informed by sector colleagues of yet another predatory course being offered. Please be aware of ongoing Training scams. A number of our members -over the recent years - have fallen victim and lost funds and valuable time registering and arriving at Courses only to find that there was no-one on site/ nor any actual booking made for the course at the venue.
Please feel free to contact us if you are unsure of a training provider and we can, through the Networks, validate the courses and suppliers for you.
