It is responsible for the provision and management of information and expertise regarding the occurrence, quality and development potential of groundwater. It is therefore on the continuous search for bright and energetic people, to train to work as Geohydrologists and Geohydrological Technicians, to ensure that the groundwater resource is sustainably developed and managed.
