Groundwater Assessment Platform (GAP)

Eawag is honoured to have welcomed Najat Mokhtar, Deputy Director General of the @iaeaorg. The two organisations share the goal of advancing #groundwater research and promoting the sustainable use of groundwater resources.

🚰If we're serious about universal + equitable access to safe affordable drinking water for all, we must tackle groundwater #arsenic contamination! See my post on the launch of DeltAs Project incl top researchers from🇨🇭🇻🇳🇦🇺🇺🇸👇@snsf_ch @usys_ethzh @eawag linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Groundwater plays a great role in development with its benefits seen in agriculture, climate, industry, and many other sectors. About to start! At the #UN2023WaterConference join us and #MakeGroundwaterVisible. Watch the side event online➡️ media.un.org/en/asset/k10/k…

This year from the evocative landscape of #Hemberg in #Switzerland, the Groundwater Assessment Platform (GAP) team sends you warm Christmas greetings 🎄 and best wishes for the year ahead 🎉 @gapmaps @EawagResearch

Dr Michael Berg and Dr Joel Podgorski from @gapmaps at @EawagResearch will participate in this week's UN-Water Summit on groundwater in Paris. The Summit can be accessed online at 👉groundwater-summit.org/about-gws/ #MakeGroundwaterVisible #GWSummit22

The UN-Water Summit on Groundwater is on 7-8 December 2022, in Paris and online. Join the event - to define actions towards more sustainable use of this vital natural resource. See the full programme👉groundwater-summit.org/about-gws/ #MakeGroundwaterVisible #GWSummit22

Localized #Groundwaterdepletion threats drinking #watersupply & may limit agricultural and industrial activities. Unfortunately, this is a real threat for several of the world´s 37 major aquifer systems as per the figure 👇 #WWDR 2022

Contamination of #groundwater by #fluoride and #arsenic remains a challenge🌍🚰A NEW REPORT by @WorldBank, @WHO & @UNICEF on "State of the World's Drinking Water" includes our maps estimating the world's fluoride and arsenic-affected population 👉 bit.ly/3Sv2kgB

On September 19th at 20:30-21:00(UTC+8), Prof. Michael Berg and Dr Joel Podgorski will present online at the 49th IAH Congress “Machine Learning Application in Geospatial Risk Modeling of #Groundwater Quality” @gapmaps @EawagResearch iah2022.com

Getting set to attend the 2022 #WorldWaterWeek, @siwi_www? Join the upcoming virtual session on #GROUNDWATER: Bridging science and policy. 📅25/2/2022, ⏰17h CEST Register: bit.ly/3p9EiLR More on the importance of groundwater in this video by @waterscipol 👇.

A new groundwater source can be transformative, but what if it is polluted, unusable? This #WWWeek session aims to create greater awareness of the societal value of protecting groundwater quality: wrld.bg/hlbG50Kb1P9 @FAO @theGEF @iahgroundwater @UNIGRAC @IUCN @siwi_www

Groundwater contamination is far more widespread than previously believed, both because of human activities on the surface and also as a result of natural processes. 💦 @WorldBank blog buff.ly/3OBU50m 💦 UN-Water Summit on Groundwater, 2022 buff.ly/3z3pjaY

Fluoride hot spots identified in groundwater aquifers cen.acs.org/environment/wa… via @cenmag

Around 180 million people are potentially affected by fluoride in groundwater, most of whom reside in Asia (51-59%) and Africa (37-46%). Africa is also home to 14 of the 20 most affected countries in terms of population at risk. Learn more go.nature.com/3p0iqCD

Groundwater contamination is worse than previously thought. The way we manage it has to improve, and fast. The @WorldBank has set out its strategic approach on monitoring groundwater quality. Check out their new ‘Seeing the Invisible’ report: buff.ly/3zICRdF

With the website groundwater-quality.org, the Friends of Groundwater wants to share information about #groundwaterquality. To ensure that we can offer you high-quality content, we opened a User #Survey. Share your opinion and help us improve! groundwater-quality.org/join-user-surv… with @UNEP
