Water Security and Groundwater Strategic Overview
Sectors:
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
The large natural storage of most groundwater systems offers exceptional drought resilience and is well positioned to enhance water security for a wide range of water users. To perform this role sustainably groundwater systems require better data and analyses to inform water-resource administration and effective pollution protection. This overview from the International Association of Hydrogeologists describes how groundwater can enhance water security, and outlines some of the main considerations.
