2. Content of presentation
Short introduction
Progress since the last WG C meeting
Next steps
Workshops in 2010/2011 of interest for WG C

3. Case Study Aquifers

4. GENESIS Work Packages

5. Overall progress
Measurement set-up planned in more detail at case study sites
for quality assurance and control we have prepared questionaires and analysed also the experimental set-up at different cases sites e.g. for conducting tracer expetriments
Measurements started in case study sites
Collaboration between partners started and this can be seen in common measurements, publications planned, and research visits
Modelling and analysis of results also started
The GW directive input clarified and the parters well aware of the input needed
Several review papers in progress
Several workshops will be held to promote groundwater research methodologies, research question and policy

6. Progress in different work tasks – an overview
Some deliverable will be ready in 2010 as planned
D1.1, D2.1, D3.1, D4.1, D6.1
The project is in an intensive phase
The work is in progress as planed
