Groundwater Management
Groundwater resources are integral to global water supply, serving potable, industrial, agricultural, and ecological needs. However, they are often overlooked in management, leading to unsustainable exploitation and contamination. The IWA Groundwater Management Specialist Group provides a vital platform for interdisciplinary discussions on groundwater use, management, and protection worldwide. Over the next four years, the group aims to mobilize water utilities for urban groundwater management, emphasize groundwater storage for climate resilience, integrate groundwater into Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), enhance urban groundwater monitoring, and regulate large-scale private groundwater use in developing cities. These efforts are crucial for ensuring the sustainability and security of groundwater resources.
