Mr. Adnew Mamo, of the Soil and Water Engineering and Management Department,Faculty of Technology, University of Hawassa, Ethiopia, started a six month trainingprogram at the department on 24 September 2007. The training consists of GIS & remotesensing in water resources engineering, surface water modeling, groundwater modelingand hydraulic modeling.Mrs. Rosa Troncosa, is employed by the Geological and Mining Survey of Chile(SERNAGEOMIN), as a geologist and working in hydrogeology projects, at a basin scale, inhumid and arid climates. The purpose of her visit was to exchange ideas onecohydrology, groundwater flow and modelling and to give the opportunity to be trainedin new techniques and developments in the field of hydrogeology. Mrs. Rosa TroncosoVásquez stayed in the department from of 27/9-26/10 as part of a Training Program ofthe Geological and Mining Survey of Chile with the economic support of the InternationalCooperation Agency of Chile.Dr. Anna Trykozko of the Interdisciplinary Centre of Mathematical and ComputationalModelling (ICM) of the University of Warsaw visited the department 12 th and 13 th ofDecember. On the 12 th she as well as Drs. Geert Brouwer of TNO, Wouter Zijl (Z-Consult)and Getachew Adem (VUB) presented seminars and discussed research concerning theedge-based stream functions and the double constraint method for groundwatermodeling.- 69 -
