Hydrometeorology and Water Quality Field Course in Guyana

Guyana - October 1-12, 2007

One CIMH staff and twenty-four specialists from the partner countries received practical training in hydrometeorology and water quality during this intensive two-week course co-delivered by McGill and CIMH in Guyana. Some comments from participants following the course best describe the level of success and relevance of the training provided:

  • “The training was a vital one in the age and time because we have a lot of water in our country [Guyana] and sometimes we all take it for granted, not thinking about human survival, health and dignity, and how it is a fundamental resource for human development.”
  • “The resources and services provided by CIMH were well prepared and delivered. I am very satisfied with the training session.”
  • “Outstanding. It adds significantly to my bank of knowledge on water source management.”
  • “The material presented will be of great help to my department and government overall.”
  • “I admire the efforts being made to solve water resource issues. The effective and efficient use of our water is of paramount importance. This course was a key way of expanding knowledge on water resource issues and needs in each participating country.”
