The groundwater paradox: A hidden challenge for society<br />
Room:<br />
NL 461<br />
Convenors: CSD, FOEN, IAH, SDC, Skat, SWP and UPGro<br />
Although groundwater forms 96 per cent of the most valuable resource, available freshwater, facts show that little<br />
information is available about this resource and consequently groundwater is poorly regulated and governed. The event<br />
aims to explore sociological/psychological, financial and sector thinking reasons that explain this situation.<br />
Event<br />
Making the invisible visible!<br />
This event will explore the main reasons responsible for the lack of groundwater regulation and governance.<br />
Expect a dynamic, interactive marketplace to reflect and discuss concrete solutions to trigger a change in mind-set<br />
with examples from Switzerland, Ghana and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.<br />
There will also be an opportunity to discuss and influence the next three-year global groundwater strategy of the<br />
RWSN (RWSN) and Groundwater Solutions Initiative for Policy and Practice (GRIPP).<br />
