It's Protect Your Groundwater Day #PYGWD 3 September 25

A third of #watersupplies in England are derived from our #aquifers #Chalk #PermoTriassicSandstone #JurassicLimestone #aquifers

Lets talk about #groundwater #PYGWD

Follow us @GeoscienceEA find out more about groundwater

Worth reading @WorldBank insight on how #Groundwater is key to protecting global ecosystems, offering refuge during #drought by supporting diverse ecosystems with the moisture required to survive, even as rain dwindles https://t.co/xZHwXGHTEg

It's great to see this video still getting air time. Thought provoking to realise it's 10 years old & while the science of #groundwater & river interaction remains sound the public appreciation of #rivers & challenges they face in the UK has grown remarkably. Time for an update🤔

When it comes to video, we don’t have to create from scratch every time.

@WatersProgramme share this with participants of Catchment Science & Management Training participants.

#DYK that most of Earth’s available freshwater is underground? In this episode of the #NuclearExplained podcast, you will learn how isotope hydrology is used to trace #groundwater, map the quantity, and assess its quality & sustainability.

Outlook for May-July is for Above Normal to Exceptionally High #groundwater & #rivers in SE England. In eastern areas Normal to Above river flows likely & Above Normal groundwater in northern Permo-Triassic sandstones. Elsewhere outlook is less certain. https://t.co/Sj6qzo8NDx

What value do we give to our groundwater💧 resources?

Valuing groundwater means:
💧Understanding it better,
💧Managing it better,
💧Sharing it better &
💧Gathering data about it.

By doing all these, we will #MakeGroundwaterVisible for the good of all.

📢 The @UN_Water expert group on groundwater is now official. Following up on the @UN_Water campaign and the Water Action Agenda of 2022, this expert group will be co-coordinated by UNESCO with IAEA, WMO, and WB. 🤝 Stay tuned for updates #MakingtheInvisibleVisible 💧🔍

Solar pumps look set to transform #irrigation in Ethiopia – but at what cost to groundwater? ☀️💧

Behavioral games have a positive and long-term impact on farmers’ sustainable management of #groundwater, @IFPRI-led research has shown

[unescoWATER @unescoWATER]

The growing use along with the increased pressure on surface water resources is making the global water crises unavoidable.

We need to tap into the full potential of #groundwater resources, which offer an enormous supply of #freshwater💧.

[UNESCO World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP) @UNESCOWWAP]

The current rate of #groundwater storage depletion is of 100-200 km³/yr, accounting for 15-25% of all groundwater withdrawals.

To blame are often intensive withdrawals for irrigation or large cities.
