Water divining
The purpose for this note is that I am moving to a smaller home and am looking for somebody interested in my water divining folder that has built up over the years.
Here first a bit of background. I am long retired after fourty years plus in water resource development and management, initially in the then South West Africa and from 1978 with the Department of Water Affairs in South Africa.
The upcoming GWD Conference (Oct 17-20) Scientific Committee just released the list of approved Presenters.
Congratulations!
