The 25th Salt Water Intrusion Meeting is over.
We would like to thank all participants for the great time we had together in Gdańsk.
Hydrogeology Journal celebrates 50 years od SWIM with a topical collection of four articles in focusing on past achievements of the SWIM and coastal hydrogeology more broadly. The journal collection contains annotated English translations of the pioneer articles by W. Badon Ghijben (1889) and Alexander Herzberg (1901), and explores what was known about freshwater lenses in coastal aquifers before their day. These article will be freely accessible until 3 Aug. 2018 and can be found at bit.ly/2KfJQOI
