We organize several webinars within the groundwater dossiers. The advantage of a webinar over a normal video is the simple fact that you can interact with the speaker. We therefore strongly recommend you to join the upcoming webinars! Of course we realize that we all have busy agenda’s so you will find links to recorded webinars as well.
If you want to present your own groundwater story in a webinar, don’t hesitate to send us an email at info@thewaterchannel.tv. Take a look here for all our webinars.
