Last week, we had the pleasure of showing representatives from the Ministry of Water and Energy (MoWe), the Ethiopian Water Technology Institute (EWTI), Hawassa University, and Haramaya University around TEMcompany headquarters in relation to the project Rapid Groundwater Resource Mapping (RGRMP), funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. The visit was arranged in conjunction with the HydroGeophysics Group at the Department of Geoscience, represented by Christos Boufidis.
It was great to demonstrate our newest product, the TEM2Go, and for us to show them around our production facility in Aarhus.
The project aims to strengthen Integrated Water Resource Management in Ethiopia by improving knowledge of groundwater mapping in arid and semi-arid environments, supporting the Government of Ethiopia’s pursuit of equal water access for all. The project has been using TEMcompany instruments across a number of its surveys.
As part of the project, the HydroGeophysics Group conducted a 10-day training course. The course covered theoretical areas such as fieldwork for data acquisition, data processing, and data interpretation of ERT and ground-based TEM data.
We’re always happy to showcase our geophysical scanners and ongoing research results within the field of geophysics to our visitors. We strongly believe that our instruments and knowledge-sharing efforts can help address global water challenges and make groundwater mapping accessible to all.
If you wish to learn more about the project, you can read more at the Haramaya University website or the official page of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark:
