Groundwater in Europe: Cornerstone for Resilience –

Description

Groundwater resources and groundwater ecosystems in Europe are under stress from climate change,
water use and pollution; implementation of sustainable solutions is complicated by long-distance effects such as water transfers, trade and tourism. Research findings show that addressing new spatial relations via collaboration and integration across sectors and governance levels is key but requires the investment of time and resources. Strengthening groundwater as a cornerstone for water resilience in Europe must be a priority.
