Argentina

Obituary

We very much regret to announce the death of Mr. Mario Fuschini Mejia of Argentina. Mr. Fuschini Mejia devoted his life to the study of hydrology and was an important member of the International Hydrological Programme from its very beginning. Mr. Fuschini Mejia, a civil engineer specialised in hydrology, was for many years chairman of the Argentine National Committee for the IHP and also Vice-President of the IHP Bureau. He taught at various universities and occupied official posts in his country. He actively promoted the improvement of knowledge by organizing international courses in hydrology with emphasis on groundwater hydrology and environmental aspects. Considered a world authority on flatlands, his untimely death found him full of enthusiasm for the preparation of new publications and training activities.
