Pomona deal under spotlight as experts meet

Experts under the banner of the Zimbabwe Institute of Geomatics (ZIG) will gather in Harare tomorrow for an annual conference that will focus on a number of issues, among them the contentious GeoPomona project.

Geomatics is made up of several fields that include geographical information science, engineering survey, land/cadastral survey, mining survey, remote sensing and photogrammetry.
