What does an hydrogeologist do?
A video interview with an hydrogeologist based in the USA
And another interview with an hydrogeologist, also in the USA.
60 gallons of safe dye to find out where the water goes (USA). This is another task of a hydrogeologist
What is an aquifer? Example form Florida, USA where 90% of drinking water is pumped from the ground from a limestone….and over 24000 contaminated sites already recorded and waiting to be cleaned up.
…and jumping to Africa, here a picture of a water well and a symbol which explains the gap exisiting in poor countries:
English: Mwamanongu Village water source, Tanzania. “In Meatu district, Shinyanga region, Tanzania, water most often comes from open holes dug in the sand of dry riverbeds, and it is invariably contaminated.” . Français : Point d’eau du village de Mwamanongu, en Tanzanie. “Dans le district de Meatu (région de Shinyanga, Tanzanie), L’eau provient le plus souvent de trous creusés dans le sable de lits de rivières asséchées. Elle est systématiquement contaminée.” (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
