Webinar: groundwater in focus with helicopter measurements
Where is sweet or salt groundwater located in the northern Netherlands? And how deep are the protective clay layers? To investigate this, a helicopter equipped with a special measuring ring will fly over parts of Groningen, Drenthe, and Fryslân starting in August. This is part of the national FRESHEM-NL project. We are organizing a webinar on this topic on June 30.
Update: the webinar can now be viewed via the link below.

FRESHEM-EN
FRESHEM-NL is a nationwide collaborative project involving seven provinces, seven water boards, five drinking water companies, and two knowledge institutes. In the northern Netherlands, the provinces of Groningen, Fryslân, and Drenthe are collaborating with the water boards Hunze en Aa’s, Noorderzijlvest, and Wetterskip Fryslân, and the drinking water companies Waterbedrijf Groningen and Vitens. The results will ultimately be made available to everyone. More information about the project can be found on the website of the Province of Groningen.
