The main points of the declaration
Let’s make the invisible visible:
There must be an effort by governments, hydrogeologists, NGOs, and all of society to make perceptible this crucial resource for planetary well-being and dignified human life.
Groundwater is critical to Earth's survival:
Aquifers, our planet’s natural water reservoirs, hold 97% of the fresh and liquid water

Everyone must face these issues:
Sustainable groundwater management needs monitoring, regulation, and communication.

/
It is imperative to protect groundwater through the following urgent actions:
Strengthen the institutions responsible for the governance of groundwater so that they promote efficient, inclusive, ethical, democratic, and socio-ecologically conscientious policies.
