With the collaboration of the INTERNATIONAL AGENCY OF ATOMIC ENERGY (IAEA) WATER RESOURCES PROGRAM.

PROGRAM

Monday, 29 May 2006

11:30-13:30 Session 1.1

Oppenning: Isotopic Tools for Groundwater Management

IAEA Water Resources Programma and Isotope Hydrology

General overview: What information geochemical and isotope tools can provide?

13:30-15:30 Lunch-Break

15:30-19:00 Session1.2

Basic principles on the use of environmental isotopes in hydrology and hydrogeology

· Isotope labelling in the water cycle

· Isotope applications to surface hydrology

· Isotope applications to groundwater hydrology (groundwater dynamics, dating, environmental recharge conditions, quantification of hydrogeological processes)

· Interconnection between surface and ground water bodies

Integration of isotope tools in hydrogeological issues

Tuesday, 30 May 2006

9:00-13:30 Session 2

Case studies and examples

· Applying isotope tools to chared aquifers: challenges and opportunities

· Lessons learned in implementing transboundary groundwater projects

· Examples of international cooperation in studying shared aquifers:

- Guarani aquifer

- Nubian sandstone aquifer

- Zarumilla aquifer

- Other case studies
