Groundwater Science

Until recently, focus on groundwater mainly concerned its use as drinking water and as an important resource for industry e.

It has, however, become increasingly obvious that groundwater should not only be viewed as a drinking water reservoir, but that it should also be protected for its environmental value. In this respect, groundwater represents an important link of the hydrological cycle through the maintenance of wetlands and river flows, acting as a buffer through dry periods.

Hence, deterioration of groundwater quality may directly affect other related aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The groundwater legislative framework under the EU Water Framework Directive and the newly adopted Groundwater Directive establishes criteria linked to environmental objectives which have to be met by following successive operational steps including characterisation, risk assessment analysis of pressures and impacts , monitoring and design of programmes of measures.

These milestones require that sound technical and scientific information be made accessible to water managers, which is so far still not sufficiently streamlined. In this context, this book describes the groundwater legislative milestones and presents series of research and development activities that aim to directly support them.

It has, therefore, the ambition to become a vehicle liaising policy requirements and available scientific knowledge in this area. He has worked as a researcher in marine geochemistry for over 20 years during which he has published more than papers in the international literature and several books linked to environmental quality measurements. He is also a part-time professor at the K. Leuven teaching "water quality and treatment". Jump to main content.
