Organized by the Groundwater Operational Unit of the Secretariat of Urban Development of the Municipality of Concordia and the Transboundary Commission of the Guaraní Aquifer System, a seminar dedicated to the city's vital forces was held in recent days.
The activity was attended by the Secretary of Urban Development of the Municipality of Concordia, Architect Alejandro López; Geologist and Professor Estela María Solana, from the Groundwater Operational Unit; Licentiate María Josefa Fioriti, representative of FADA-GWP South America; Engineer Msc. Julián Andrés Ramos for UDELAR; Dr. Guillermo Markievizck, for the Faculty of Food Sciences of UNER and Architect Mireya López Bernis for the Transboundary Commission Concordia-Salto.
During the meeting, various topics related to transboundary basins and aquifers were discussed. “There are issues that deserve to be addressed as a region and this meeting was one of them. That we can be at the same table with the public sector, academia, vital forces, and organizations, on both sides of the Uruguay River, is more than important,” the organizers remarked.
From these meetings, “actions must emerge that have an impact on all the communities located over the Guaraní Aquifer System and the Salto-Salto Chico Aquifer System so that the management of water resources, which know no boundaries, is handled in a responsible and safe manner.”
