Salt Water Intrusion Meeting
Salt water intrusion in costal aquifers. SWIM conferences originated in 1968, as a result of collaboration between researchers from Germany, Netherlands and Denmark, working on problems of freshwater-saltwater interaction in coastal aquifers. Since that time SWIM meetings have been organized - mostly on biennial basis - in different European countries, with an increasing number of participants. The scope also expanded, to include topics such as submarine groundwater discharge, groundwater salinity of various origins or coastal aquifer management. Starting from 2008, when SWIM and SWICA conferences merged, every second SWIM is held outside Europe. More information on the previous SWIMs can be found at: http://www.swim-site.nl.
In 2018 we are going to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the SWIM conference in Gdańsk - a city on the Polish Baltic coast, offering many cultural and historical attractions, as well as a variety of beautiful landscapes.Price: 240 - 540 €
Organised by Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland.

T2. Spotlight on Modeling, Emerging Technologies and Their Applications
T3. Global/Regional Environmental Change and Groundwater Impacts
T4. Strategies to Assure the Sustainability of Groundwater Resource
T5. Groundwater Quality and Contamination
T6. Groundwater and Surface Water: an Integrated View
T7. Advances in the Study of Karst and Fractured-rock Aquifers
T8. Coastal Zone Management and Water Resources
T9. Groundwater and Energy
Pre-congress training courses and excursions are currently being planned. Mid-congress excursions are proposed to limestone caves, a national geopark, curative springs, a wetland conservation area and the national groundwater information centre. There wil also be seceral post congress tours for participants to enjoy Korea’s cultural heritage.
