The Centre for Sustainable Solutions in Practical Hydrogeology (CSSPH) is a new think tank that was established recently. CSSPH is dedicated to the sound governance of land, water and ecosystems with the aim of supporting critical and practical action in the cross-section between hydrogeology and eco-hydrology. CSSPH is spearheaded by…
The groundwater model of Jordan shows the different aquifers of the country virtually (source: BGR). Jordan is one of the most arid countries in the world, with far less than 100 m3 of water available per capita per year, which is about one-fifth of the measure of absolute water scarcity.…
Groundwater scientists are often challenged to bridge the gap between science and society, and to find effective ways to make the best use of scientific outcomes for the long-term protection and sustainable use of groundwater resources. Undoubtedly, climate change, the widespread diffusion of contaminants, disease pandemics, the shift towards more…
The online, open access Africa Groundwater Atlas was launched in 2016. Bringing together information from multiple sources, it provides an overview of hydrogeology, groundwater resources, and its management for each country in Africa. Furthermore, it includes supporting general information relevant to the African context, for example, on climate, groundwater quality,…
The Early Carrier Hydrogeologists’ Network under the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH), which is one of our GRIPP partners, has proudly developed a thought-provoking video alerting to the global issues of water scarcity – and specifically calling all to the need for supporting groundwater protection and proper exploitation in order…
Modern managed aquifer recharge (MAR) began in the middle of the last century, inspired by traditional practices that societies developed to combat water scarcity. Nowadays, MAR is practiced in more than 60 countries, fulfilling a variety of water and environment management goals across a diverse range of settings. To help…
The International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH), has signed up as partner of GRIPP and expressed their clear support for the initiative.
