HOME THE ASSOCIATION PUBLICATIONS CONFERENCES AND VISITS THEMATIC GROUPS SOCIAL CFH Presentation of the French AIH Committee With around 300 members, the French Committee of Hydrogeology of the AIH is representative of all sectors of activity of hydrogeologists: Universities, Research organizations (CNRS, IRD, IRSTEA), national and regional administrations and public services, water agencies, consulting companies and design offices, water distribution companies. Since 1994, it has organized each year: a national conference on a topical issue, regional technical excursions. It distributes an internal newsletter . Enfin, il a créé le prix d'hydrogéologie "Gilbert Castany" décerné chaque année pour couronner l'oeuvre magistrale d'une personnalité (senior). Depuis 2000, le prix Archambault a pris le relais du prix Castany junior. Retrouvez tout ceci sur la plaquette du CFH, 2016 flyer and panel. Affiliée à l'Union internationale des sciences géologiques, l'Association Internationale de Hydrogéologues, association loi 1901, est née d'une initiative française, au congrès géologique international d'Alger (1952), sous l'impulsion de l'école hydrogéologique française qui a pris son essor après 1945 en Afrique du nord. Sa section nationale française a toujours été une des plus actives : le premier congrès de l'AIH se tint à Paris en 1957 et G. Castany en fut longtemps le secrétaire général, conjointement avec L. Dubertret. Gilbert Castany a présidé le comité français depuis l'origine jusqu'à sa disparition en 1993. The main purpose of the AIH is to promote the exchange of knowledge and experience within the community of hydrogeologists, in France and around the world, as well as between them and specialists in related branches of the sciences of water and Earth, and water techniques. It also aims to promote the role of hydrogeologists and the place of groundwater in the development and sustainable management, as well as the protection of water resources.
