摘要:An exhibit prepared by the IAEA WRP won an innovation award during the GEF International Waters Conference in Cape Town, South Africa held from 31 July–3 August, 2007. As a side event to the Conference, the Innovation Marketplace Exhibit served as a venue for exchange of ideas, information and knowledge. The IAEA had a booth entitled Isotopes–Water’s Key, introducing the IAEA/UNDP/GEF Nubian Aquifer Project along with highlighting the scientific role of isotopic techniques. A ‘water tasting event’ was also held at the booth as a side event for the Conference with water coming from Libyan Arab Jamahariya, Australia and Austria. The objective of providing water of different ages was to highlight challenges in groundwater assessment and the special role of isotopes.
