The IAH-SA distributes an electronic newsletter bi-annually (typically spring and autumn) to IAH members located in South Africa. Hard copies of the newsletter are mailed to members when electronic access is not available.
News articles from members are welcomed, especially articles on applied hydrogeological science (including activities in SA and internationally), announcements, and other groundwater related information.

Just a brief newsletter to keep us connected and provide information on the local and international groundwater scene.
