International Conference on Transboundary Aquifers

Groundwater is the most abundant source of freshwater worldwide. This makes it crucial to socio-ecological systems and the source of at least half of the planet population[1]. There are 366 transboundary aquifers identified, and 226 transboundary “groundwater bodies”[2], underlying almost every country.Transboundary aquifers are not only a source of freshwater to societies, but they also represent a geographic, economic, and geopolitical space. While nations establish their limits by .. continue reading political boundaries, aquifers are delimited by their hydrogeological dynamics; understanding them and defining the boundaries of these water bodies is a challenge due to the intricate physicochemical processes to which they are exposed and the available information and characterization. Furthermore, transboundary aquifers are a complex subject to apprehend due to the sociopolitical and territorial interactions that stir up in them.
