Groundwater withdrawals have risen sharply in the past 50 years and the resource is becoming increasingly degraded due to pollution and saline intrusion. How can policies slow depletion, contribute to aquifer recovery and prevent pollution? And how can allocation arrangements be designed to maximise the benefits – economic, environmental and social – derived from groundwater today and in the future?
Join Kathleen Dominique of the OECD Environment Directorate on 30 November at 17:00 CET / 11:00 EST to learn more about the challenges of groundwater allocation and the key questions governments need to answer to establish robust allocation arrangements.
The talk will highlight findings from the recently released OECD report: Groundwater Allocation: Managing Growing Pressures on Quantity and Quality.
