摘要:This issue of the News focuses on several achievements in the IAEA’s Water
Resources programme during the year 2007. I am very pleased to note that we
were able to facilitate specific improvements in the laser spectroscopy machine to
obtain consistent analyses with desirable accuracy and precision for hydrological
samples. This machine was demonstrated at the 12th IAEA symposium on isotope
hydrology held in Vienna in May 2007. Additional highlights of the Symposium
included a technical session on a boat cruise on the River Danube. Excellent food and
weather were supplemented by two superb presentations related to river hydrology.
This session was made possible by the generous financial contributions of Amex
Export-Import GmbH, Dionex (Europe) Management AG, Eijkelkamp Agrisearch
Equipment, GV Instruments GmbH, Labsco GmbH & Co., Los Gatos Research Inc.
and Thermo Electron GmbH. I thank all of these partners and look forward to similar
cooperation in the future.
