This conference will be a forum for the exchange of ideas, experiences and technical knowledge through studies, research and activities related to the present and future of our greatest natural wealth applications: groundwater.

The increasing demand for groundwater resources, combined with the impacts of recent climate variability and environmental pollution, poses the challenge to protect and exploit this resource in a responsible and sustainable over time, in order to ensure a future for generations to come.
