The information obtained provides decision-makers and water sector experts with important insights into long-term trends and changes in groundwater availability. This enables them to respond to issues such as droughts at an early stage, allowing them to develop adapted strategies for drinking water supply and agricultural irrigation. At the same time, transparent data provision creates a common knowledge base for researchers, administrators and the public. This encourages discussion about sustainable water management and helps to prepare for the consequences of climate change.
