Another major IAH-UGN activity during 2015 was the development and delivery of a 2-hour session on “Urban Groundwater – Ignore at Your Peril” at the UNESCO-ARCEAU COP-21 Conference on “Megacities, Water & Climate” (December 1 to 4). Most of the preparatory work was carried out by Stephen Foster with the strong support of Ricardo Hirata (IAH- Brazil) and Bruno Nguyen (UNESCO-IHP). The conference was attended by 550-600 participants, with urban planners and socio-economists predominating over water-service utility reps and water-resource scientists.
