EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our precious groundwater resources have been invisible to us all as they have been overused, over-extracted and polluted, while we have taken them for granted for too long. The time is now to change this!
The first of the two back-to-back sessions will cover policy, science, technology, and actionable aspects that are needed for a transformation of sustainable groundwater use and management, and the second will showcase the vital importance of water resources through art.
