Thematic cluster: 2. Environmental sustainability
Sub-cluster: Sub-cluster 2.A Water management
Deliverable: Sustainability of groundwater resources: hazard reduction and prevention guidelines
These guidelines provide a systematic approach for empowering municipal staff to better understand and fulfill their roles to ensure the sustainability of groundwater resources. For those municipalities with systems in place for protecting groundwater resources, these recommendations will be useful as another checklist to make sure that all issues are covered. For municipalities, which are overwhelmed by the extent of the pollution problems they face, these recommendations will provide a methodology to help them begin solving these issues.
