The workshop on 13-14 December will focus on sharing status of groundwater resources of the collaborating cities in the changing context; discuss on draft framework for groundwater vulnerability assessment; and review results of climate change projection of the study cities. This regional workshop will be attended by project collaborators from Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam. The first day of the workshop is open for all AIT community.
