About IAH Netherlands

The Netherlands National Chapter of IAH (IAH-NL), founded in 1972, serves as a platform for individuals engaged in groundwater-related fields within the country, facilitating networking and professional exchange. The chapter maintains a close relationship with the Netherlands Hydrological Society (NHV), focusing on groundwater and international connections.

IAH-NL is committed to supporting the next generation of hydrogeologists through initiatives like the Pieter Stuyfzand Scriptie Prijs (PSSP), an annual MSc thesis prize recognizing outstanding research in hydrogeology.
