Motivation
GroundwaterRelevance
Groundwater is the largest store in the hydrological cycle. Itcompensates for seasonal variations and provides mid-term andlong-term safety for drinking water supply. Aquifers clean waterand remove or attenuate/reduce the concentration of bacteria,organic pollutants and even some metals due to naturalattenuation and degradation.
drinking water supply (safe and secure)
management of water resources under changing climate
managed aquifer recharge
Groundwater also plays an important role in runoff stormgeneration. Management of groundwater along coasts and insemi-arid and arid regions is key for water security.
