Groundwater is the primary source of drinking water for almost half the world's people, is essential to irrigated agriculture, and provides enormous environmental benefits. A growing population and changing climate make groundwater more important than ever to meet future needs. This presentation uses examples from around the world to uncover the main issues surrounding groundwater depletion and contamination. Included are lessons learned about better groundwater governance and how groups and individuals are making a difference protecting the world’s groundwater for present and future generations.<br/>
