The consortium met in a hybrid meeting, discussed the actual results and planned the work for the next period. The meeting was complemented by presentations of several stakeholders: Farmers presented the history and presence of the irrigation pipeline system, fed by the near-by Blyde River Dam.

Scientists talked about actual challenges of surface water quality, irrigation and wildlife health in the region. The meeting was complemented with visits of the Blyde River Dam, the irrigation pipeline and a local farm.
