About the product

This publication provides an overview of groundwater occurrence and of the main issues affecting its quantity and quality. It explains how the resource is used in cities and rural areas, in industry, mining, and agriculture, and how it sustains many of our wetlands while becoming an integral part of billions of people’s lives. Numerous examples are included that illustrate resource management issues and underline the need for active management rather than adhoc development.
