Its taken a while to come out but here is my @BritGeoSurvey blog on the recent @FCFAhycristal AGM in Kampala https://t.co/jj06XESWFx

[Walker Institute @WalkerInst]

Earlier today at #HyCRISTALAGM we shared our related projects to @FCFAhycristal to set in context all our ideas for future projects. Director Ros Cornforth and @BGSGroundwater's David Macdonald shared @SHEAR_Programme NIMFRU project and @BRAVE_UPGro respectively! @UPGroResearch

[FCFA HyCRISTAL @FCFAhycristal]

Interesting group discussions.

[Caroline Wainwright (Dunning) @wainwright_cm]

Using https://t.co/g5IUlmDsmf to collect ideas on future actions and research priorities to enabling informed decision making. #whatsnext @FCFAhycristal

[David Macdonald @DavidMacd65]

Lots of interest in @UPGro and @BRAVE_UPGro at the @FCFAhycristal Showcase meeting in Kampala

[FCFA HyCRISTAL @FCFAhycristal]

BRAVE Building understanding of climate

[Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) @future_climate]

Possible Future for Rural East Africa under a changing climate. Download the @FCFAhycristal infographic here: https://t.co/AxuYKnLa2a and read the brief here: https://t.co/3CTshYTBsz #climatechange #FCFA #Africa

[David Macdonald @DavidMacd65]

This work is being led by Makerere University, in collaboration with @BGSGroundwater and @UPGroResearch project TGroup

[Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) @future_climate]

David Macdonald detailing the applications of Kampala Met data by developing a hydro geological model of Kampala to monitor spring flow. @FCFAhycristal #climatechange #HyCRISTALAGM #water #africa

[David Macdonald @DavidMacd65]

@BGSGroundwater and others, including Ugandan Ministry of Water & Environment, are exploring the implications on simulated future river flows of driving hydro models with output from a convection-permitting climate model

[FCFA HyCRISTAL @FCFAhycristal]

We're working with Met office on regional East African understanding already - more detail at our annual meeting

[David Macdonald @DavidMacd65]

@fcfahycristal Showcase Event - interesting talk on downscaling of daily rainfall data for flood risk modelling by Rob Wilby of Loughborough University, that started with analysis of 15-minute rainfall data from our Kampala hydromet network

[David Macdonald @DavidMacd65]

In Kampala presenting the BGS and Uganda Ministry of Water & Environment work on the @fcfahycristel project. Looking forward to hearing about the novel climate science being undertaken in East Africa by Met Office and others

[David Macdonald @DavidMacd65]

Take a look at #35 https://t.co/s7RY90xRAI

[FFIR research @NERC_FFIR]

There are a few places left for our open event. You'll have to be quick though, the registration deadline is 13th November!

Maybe I can tempt you with some details of what we have planned....

[More Than Minutes @visualminutes]

Today we were capturing #solutions for #floodmanagement #landwise @UniofReading @EnvAgency

[David Macdonald @DavidMacd65]

Visual minutes taken at the @NERC_NFM #landwisenfm conference today. They started with a blank canvas!

[IAHgroundwater @iahgroundwater]

... Callist is on IAH's Council, being Vice President for Sub-Saharan Africa. 😀🇺🇬#GWConference2018 🇿🇦 @iahgroundwater - the world-wide #groundwater organisation 🌍

[David Macdonald @DavidMacd65]

Here in Birmingham representing @BritGeoSurvey at an Environment Agency workshop to draft a Flood Hydrology Road Map. It is to be used to 'develop an implementation plan for operational hydrology improvements and research in the EA'. Little short on groundwater people!

[David Macdonald @DavidMacd65]

Touching tribute to our late @BritGeoSurvey colleague Ian Gale in this excellent review paper on Managed Aquifer Recharge

[IGRAC @UNIGRAC]

'Sixty years of global progress in Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR)' is an open access paper (with @UNIGRAC contribution) in the Hydrogeology Journal on what has been achieved over the last decades. https://t.co/kihD7PUwnV #groundwater #aquifer #MAR #OpenAccess #publication

[Patrick Thomson @patrickgthomson]

Really happy that our paper on the relationship between rural groundwater use and rainfall has been accepted by Science of The Total Environment:
