Are Emerging Organic Contaminants an Issue in NZ Groundwaters?

A Baseline Survey in the Waikato Region. This session will be split into two parts: a presentation of the scientific work and an interactive Q&A session driven by attendees. The scientific presentation will include the drivers of the survey, the methods and results and  implications on future monitoring with reflections on the context of the study from a local government perspective.

This session is aimed at a broad ranging audience but will focus on groundwater quality and monitoring tackling a “new” issue. The methodology and thinking that will be presented are transferable to similar issues in a range of environmental domains.

We will conclude the session with audience driven questions and answers. Please email me at elearning@landandgroundwater.com with any detailed aspects of the subject you would like addressed.
