On Friday, November 15th, 2024, GeoTenerife attended the Science Week event at the Centro Cultural Andares in Villa de Mazo to. discuss the importance of the Hydrogeological system. Other key members of La Palma's scientific community attended the event: Iván Hernández Ríos Technical Engineer of the GENESIS demonstrator sites across La Palma, Jaime Colleo Director of the Fundación Telesforo Bravo-Juan Coello, and representatives of the La Palma Research Centre.
The Genesis project aims to design and implement nature-based solutions to benefit local communities’ access to water. Any school-age person in La Palma can submit a 1-minute video about how water impacts their lives. The submission deadline will be the summer of 2025. The prize for 1st place will be an expense-paid trip to one of the GENESIS demonstrator sites in Cape Verde or Maderia.
