Groundwater, Geoenergy, Hydrothermal minerals

The interconnections between water, energy, food and environment are like a board game where, to win, all the players need to gather as many resources as possible. Will we be able to change the rules to reach the common good? The 3rd movie of "The Water Rooms" is a journey into the world of freshwater resources. The film was made by WWAP UNESCO .

This year Judit Mádl-Szőnyi , the scientific coordinator of ENeRAG received one of the most prestigious awards of the International Association of Hydrogeologist (IAH), the IAH Presidents’ Award . It can be considered as a huge success, as this is the first time that a specialist working in Hungary was awarded this recognition.  The IAH Presidents’ Award was established in 1995 and is determined by the current and past presidents. It is given annually to a member who has made outstanding international contributions to groundwater science and furthering IAH’s mission to promote understanding and management of groundwater resources for the benefit of humankind and the environment.

The award also honors the work she has done as head of the IAH Groundwater Flow Commission. It also qualifies the results of the so-called ‘Tothian’

We would like to draw your attention to a new book that introduces to the amazing underground world, the environment of caves and karst formations. This book is called “The Lands of Karst: A Visual Story” which comprises around 500 nice photographs as a contribution to the 2021 - International Year of Cave and Karst declared by the International Union of Speleology and supported by UNESCO and numerous institutions and organizations. The colour photographs are from six Lands of Karst of ex-Yugoslavia - Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia, which had been recorded by more than 70 geologists, speleologists, biologists, archaeologists, mountaineers, professional photographers or simply amateurs - karst and caves lovers.
