Intensive Use of Groundwater:: Challenges and Opportunities
This book is written by authors from different countries and disciplines. The scope is not only to present the conventional hydrogeological aspects of the issue, but more importantly, the ecological, legal, institutional, economic, and social challenges and opportunities of such intensive groundwater use. It should be clear that different scientists, experts and stakeholders may interpret a given situation very differently, perceptions also change through time, and possible solutions are not unique and may often involve trade-offs, and accommodation to local circumstances, established policies and politics. Nevertheless, it is intended to propose actions in order to assure a sustainable groundwater development.
It is expected that this book may constitute a step-forward to help clarify the importance of groundwater and its far-reaching implications. Among these implications can be mentioned the general relevance of groundwater development to eradiate poverty through providing potable water and food to the poor in a cheap and fast way.
