A message from Didier Van den Berghe:
We are maintening a basic GW-IS in Afghanistan, with the help of USGS, BGR, UNICEF. We have a database with more than 37 000 water points, a water table level monitoring plan (already 70 wells are monitored every two weeks, and we start to use divers and recorders), and many chemical analysis are also stored in one common database link to a GIS. We have one laboratory for chemical analysis, field team for technical survey, and a database unit for encoding data. I am hydrogeologist, and I would like to share this experience with other countrys, and to find some supports to improve and extend the global system.
