Groundwater is a crucial component of the water cycle and is available almost everywhere on Earth in sufficient quantity and adequate quality to sustain water supply. In countries where the maturity of use of groundwater is high, competing demands between water supply, agriculture and ecosystems are becoming more visible with important development implications – more so under climate change. A better understanding of groundwater and higher political prioritization can help improve its sustainable use.
