IAH-BGID Activities at IAH 2019
Hydrogeology of Africa: Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
Help us create the first Hydrogeology of Africa pages in Wikipedia!
The Africa Groundwater Atlas is an online portal providing a synthesis of the groundwater resources of Africa at a country scale. At the 46th IAH Congress, we will be running a Wikipedia edit-a-thon to create “Hydrogeology of…” pages for every country in Africa based on the content of the Atlas. During this 3-hour session, anyone with an interest in African hydrogeology can come along to help us edit Wikipedia to make hydrogeology information for Africa more visible and accessible to a wider audience.
Who can participate? Anyone! No experience of Wikipedia or African hydrogeology is required
When is it happening? Monday 22nd September, 4pm – 7pm, at the IAH Congress in Malaga
Will there be refreshments? Yes!
How do I get involved? Find out more here or register by emailing: AfricaGWAtlas@bgs.ac.uk
