Groundwater and IWRM Update: Five Publications

July 10, 2012 | Posted by Michael "Aquadoc" Campana

A recent email I sent to a group of hydrogeologists and fellow travelers reiterated my desire to establish an online communityfor groundwater and IWRM. I am still working towards that and am searching for a suitable platform. Over 100 people have indicated they would like to be included. Click here if you want more information.

The email elicited a number of responses and a few relevant publications.

Stephen Foster, formerly with the British Geological Survey and now with the World Bank’s GW-MATE (Groundwater Management Team) sent along a couple of publications:

Download GW-MATE SO-1 Groundwater Governance (Oct 2009)

and a recent paper by himself and Mohamed Ait-Kadi of the Global Water Partnership (GWP), “Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM): How does groundwater fit in?” (fromHydrogeology Journal (2012) 20: 412-415);

Download IAH-HJ IWRM-How Does Groundwater Fit (Foster & Ait-Kadi – 2012)

I enjoyed this paper, lucid, succinct, relevant. Table 1 is especially helpful, as it provides a hydrologically consistent approach to reconciling river basin catchments with groundwater bodies for integrated water resources management (click on the table to enlarge):

An additional hydrogeological condition should be listed: that of an extensive, multi-aquifer system underlying several river basins in a humid region.

Very good article – be sure to read it.

Kevin McCray, Executive director of the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) sent this white paper on groundwater sustainability that NGWA produced in 2005:

Download GW_Sustain_final_white_paper_2005

Here are two more I discovered:

1) Another GW-MATE publication, a training manual titled, Groundwater Management in IWRM.

2) From GWP and INBO via Ari Michelsen: Handbook of IWRM in Transboundary Basins of Rivers, Lakes and Aquifers.

Enough to keep you and me busy for a while!

Enjoy!
