Natural resources of our planet are among the main topics of interest for geoethics. Referring to surface and groundwater management, geoethics promotes a prudent and responsible use, and recycling wherever possible, fostering key concepts like sustainability, respect for natural dynamics, and preservation from pollution. In this perspective, geoscientists are called to disseminate correct information on the best way to manage water resources for the benefit of society, and to sensitize public opinion about the active contribution the population can give to the conservation of water in order to avoid the depletion of this essential resource for the life on the planet.
\nFrom 2012 the IAPG – International Association for Promoting Geoethics (www.geoethics.org<\/a>) works for orienting geoscientists towards an ethical approach to water resources. This implies to analyse scientifically the dynamics of human-water systems, to manage carefully problems related to environmental impacts created by human intervention in the natural processes governing surface and groundwater resources, to develop strategies in order to harmonize expectations and requests of various stakeholders, including citizens, industry and policy makers.
\nThe joint congress IAH – IAPG will be an excellent occasion for discussing and sharing values, best practices and strategies to manage water resources for a sustainable future.Silvia Peppoloni (IAPG Secretary General)<\/i>Groundwater is the less visible part of all the water cycle. When water\u00a0enters the underground world on its way to aquifers, it turns difficult for\u00a0non-specialists to understand its pathway and the amount of resources\u00a0under the soil, as well as its possible management. By this reason or\u00a0because the opportunity comes, there are countries in arid areas using\u00a0the last aquifers they have to less priority uses, condemning the next\u00a0generations to look for new water sources, like desalinization, there are\u00a0countries mining groundwater under the borders of other countries, there\u00a0are long historic records of groundwater contamination by industry,\u00a0human settlements, agriculture. And there are new relations between\u00a0water and energy, for example fracking for gas and oil and the possible\u00a0implications for groundwater. So, geoethics is something that\u00a0hydrogeologists will more and more need to have in mind when working\u00a0with such a sensitive water resource.
\nA joint congress between IAH (www.iah.org<\/a>) and IAPG will be a\u00a0partnership that can lead hydrogeologists and other specialists on\u00a0geoethics to think about our profession and the implications our actions\u00a0can have for the world and for our future generations.Ant\u00f3nio Chambel (IAH President)<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
