MARCLAIMED Comporta Demo Site to be Showcased at the 14th Seminar on Groundwater
The 14th Seminar on Groundwater in Portugal is set to take place on December 5th and 6th, 2024, in Lisbon. This annual gathering brings together experts, researchers, and practitioners to explore innovative approaches to managing groundwater resources and addressing emerging challenges in the field.
MARCLAIMED partners from LNEC will showcase insights from the Comporta Demo Site and the work within the scope of the project, with a presentation titled “Managed Aquifer Recharge Using Alternative Water Sources: The Case Study of Comporta.” The seminar will showcase the efforts to enhance trust and acceptance in MAR technology by highlighting innovative practices and monitoring strategies.
The LNEC presentation will provide an in-depth look at:
- The Comporta Demo Site: A detailed introduction to the site and its role in advancing MAR systems.
