c. Assessing the impacts on groundwater and aquifers of industrial, agricultural, and other activities and

Groundwater experts maintain that, in defining two categories of aquifers, recharge must be limited to natural recharge.

States, in accordance with the precautionary approach, shall take early action and develop long term plans to ensure the sustainable use of groundwater and of the aquifers in which the groundwater is contained.

(b) Develop water management plans in transboundary, national and or local contexts, preferably on the basis of catchment areas or groundwater aquifers.

Efficient methods of groundwater extraction would help control the intrusion of salt water into freshwater aquifers, and increase the availability of freshwater.

This resulted in the salinization and degradation of Jordan's main groundwater basins, in particular the aquifers of Amman Zarqa, Azraq and Northern Mujib, as well as depletion of groundwater resources in the main basins.

In order to comply with this Chapter, States shall take all appropriate steps to acquire the information necessary to manage groundwater and aquifers efficiently and effectively, including

Draft article 12 obliges aquifer States to protect and preserve ecosystems inside aquifers as well as ecosystems outside aquifers, dependent on the aquifers.

Our initial work on nanomaterial mobility in formations resembling groundwater aquifers or sand filters has shown that while one type of nanomaterial may be very mobile, a second may stay put.

Our initial work on nanomaterial mobility in formations resembling groundwater aquifers or sand filters has shown that while one type of nanomaterial may be very mobile, a second may stay put.

European policy on groundwater is concerned both with the quality and quantity of groundwater.

Iraq also states that, in any case, the net freshwater storage in the two aquifers has already increased by natural recharge and it asserts that there is no evidence of fresh groundwater loss because pumping rates at both of the aquifers have, in fact, increased since the invasion and occupation.

Monitoring groundwater levels, pressures, and quality

They use groundwater heated by firewood.

Groundwater is very pure and germfree.

Kuwait was awarded compensation to remediate the aquifers.

(a) Utilization of transboundary aquifers and aquifer systems

Draft convention on the law of transboundary aquifers

As groundwater should be recognized as a natural resource with economic and ecological value, groundwater strategies should aim at the sustainable use of groundwater and preservation of its quality.

Protection measures aimed at prevention of groundwater pollution and overuse should be the basic tools for groundwater management.

In any case, the Panel notes that, compared with the overall production of fresh water in Kuwait, groundwater production at the Raudhatain and Umm Al Aish aquifers was minimal, both before and after Iraq's invasion and occupation.

In countries where groundwater resources are threatened, the provisions of the WFD and the Groundwater Directive ( Daughter Directive ) could be very helpful for achieving effective protection of both groundwater quantity and quality.

(xii) Charter on Groundwater Management, 1989, adopted by the Economic Commission for Europe at its forty fourth session, Groundwater strategies

Thus, only transboundary aquifers and aquifer systems are covered by the draft convention and domestic aquifers and aquifer systems are excluded from its scope.

A distinction should therefore be made in draft article 8, paragraph 1, between the protection of recharging aquifers and that of non recharging aquifers.

The current legislative framework consists of the provisions of the WFD concerning groundwater and those of the newly adopted Groundwater Directive.

The groundwater is 300 feet deep, 100 meters.

This layer of water is called the groundwater.

What happens when the good groundwater is found?

The definitions of recharging and non recharging aquifers became necessary because, pursuant to draft article 5, different rules will apply to each category of aquifers.

Many farms use water pumped from underground aquifers for irrigation.

In allocating groundwater resources, account should be taken of the amount of groundwater in reserve and of the rate of its replenishment.

In some regions, groundwater abstraction is exceeding the recharge rate, causing lowering of the groundwater table, loss of wetlands and seawater intrusion.

Hungarian European Groundwater and Contaminated Land Information System (EUGRIS) (

The great aquifers that supply water for irrigation are being depleted.

Draft article 14 deals with the problem of pollution of aquifers.

(viii) Section IV of the Charter on Groundwater Management, 1989, adopted by the Economic Commission for Europe at its forty fourth session, Groundwater allocation

Salinization and depletion of groundwater resources Jordan seeks compensation in the amount of USD 1,465,565,462 for the salinization and depletion of its groundwater resources.

ESCWA also focused on the sustainable management of shared groundwater resources, especially in the many countries where groundwater is the main source of water.

Concentrations of pesticides in groundwater commonly exceed EU maximum admissible concentrations and many countries report groundwater pollution by heavy metals, hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

The wastes could be treated and used to replenish groundwater.

When there are no government helicopters we pump the groundwater.

Protection of groundwater from contamination and water resource management issues.

So wells are made to bring up the groundwater? Exactly.

However, if such recharge is negligible from the point of view of the management of aquifers, we must treat the water in those aquifers as a non renewable resource.
