British Geological Survey Wikimedia project.
	In 2019 the British Geological Survey made the decision to openly-license images and text from the Africa Groundwater Atlas. This information could then be transferred into the Wikimedia projects, particularly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. An initial event will be held at the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) Congress in September 2019.

How to get involved

We are currently starting to utilise openly licensed text from the Africa Groundwater Atlas in the creation and improvement of various Wikipedia articles on the Hydrogeology of Africa. We ran an initial editathon event on Monday 23rd September 2019 at the IAH Congress.

If you have any queries about the project, please contact user:Sara Thomas (WMUK) / Lirazelf.

We are also interested in translating this content, and would welcome editors interested in translation.
