This book offers a scientific overview of key findings in groundwater management set in context against the legislative milestones ensuing as a result of research and development activities. Highlighting the close relationship between policy requirements and scientific knowledge, the editor provides up-to-date information on the EU groundwater policy framework complimented with discussions on integrating R&D activity and output into policy implementation. The first of its kind this book is essentially a unique summary of outstanding research and development projects in the field of groundwater science and the reader can draw upon a wealth of knowledge and information from both a scientific and political perspective. Examples of research projects contributing to both policy development and implementation are provided and discussed.
