Bizz dev Sofie enjoying a break at the stand of Cluster H2O at Lyon Expo Pollutec.

After paying a visit to 26 exhibitors in the geotechnical, environmental, and geothermal domains and talking about our expertise in hydrogeology and fluorescent dye tracing it's time for some rest.

Used all my life savings to survive 2yrs while I animate 14-18hrs/day, 7days/wk, for the duration of production. Completed the film with the help of @kickstarter.com and began the film festival circuit; Annecy, Pixelatl, Ottawa, Sitges, Heartland, Filmquest. Currently figuring out a public release!

A study by PhD researcher Jess Payne (Earth and Environment) found that the depletion of Iran's underwater aquifers is driving the ground to sink rapidly throughout the country. Read more:
Iran among 'world's most extreme subsidence hotspots' with some areas sinking up to 1 foot per year, study finds
The extraction of water from aquifers in Iran is causing an area the size of Maryland to sink, exposing an estimated 650,000 people to the risks of subsidence and freshwater depletion.

It is a consequence of intentional editorial decisions about what "news" to cover and what to largely ignore that Trump's recent decision to have people across the U.S. get cancer, developmental diseases, become infertile, and die is not felt as a "public safety" emergency.

Thank you for the added info Robert 👍😄. I know hydrogeologists who drink it to convince the local community that it's safe to perform a tracer test. What do you use it for in your lab?

The student pouring the fluorescein is not wearing gloves. It adds to the tracer test experience to walk around with green fluo hands for the rest of the day 😅. But yes, gloves are recommended when handling dye, and a mask when handling the powders or you'll have fluo green snot for a few days.

Haha, understandable 😅. That's why communication to the local stakeholders and habitants is so important before performing a tracer test. We wouldn't want Grimm-like stories about tracer tests 😬

Een ambitieus plan voor de Stad Gent : infiltratie van regenwater naar het grondwater via regenputten, wadi's en boorputten voor de diepere grondlagen.

Hoe wordt de kwaliteit van het water dat naar de diepere grondlagen wordt afgevoerd gegarandeerd?

We carry out hydrological studies and infiltration tests for architects and project developers relating to rainwater and flood risk.

We also conduct risk assessments for water companies and rent out our fluorometers or provide support for tracer tests to research institutes.

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media.

The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters.

They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters.

Israel is once again breaking international law
