Monitoring workshop in Fiji

The workshop “Advancing Groundwater Monitoring in Pacific Small Island Developing States” was jointly organized by WMO, IGRAC, Fiji Meteorological Service (FMS), the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP). This workshop took place in Suva, Fiji from 29 August till 2 September and was organised in the framework of WMO Education and Training Programme and of the Global Groundwater Monitoring Network (GGMN) programme. GGMN is a programme set up to improve quality and accessibility of groundwater monitoring information and subsequently our knowledge on the state of groundwater resources.
