식량농업기구(Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO), 월드뱅크(World Bank), 유네스코(UNESCO), 국제수문지질학회(International Association of Hydrogeologists, IAH), 지구환경기금(Global Environment Facility, GEF)은 한정된 지하수 자원의 고갈 및 긴급저하에 따른 변화를 관리하기 위해 국제사회에서의 조치를 촉구하고 있다.

 

이러한 협력은 일련의 원칙을 제시하며, 정부는 2030년을 기준으로 목표실행을 위한 전체구조를 설정해 지하수의 지속가능한 이용을 위한 지하수 관리에 보다 힘을 쏟을 방침이다.

 

 

 

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Bank, UNESCO, the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) called for action by the global community to manage the growing, urgent degradation and depletion of limited groundwater resources.

 

The collaboration proposed a set of principles, “The 2030 Vision and Global Framework for Action,” governments can use for better groundwater management to ensure sustainable use of groundwater. The 2030 Vision and Global Framework for Action supplies the framework and guiding principles for coordinated action among organizations and governments. The set of principles, a product of four years of consultations with stakeholders from more than 100 counties, highlights legal and institutional frameworks, information and incentive structures, plans, and policies for effective groundwater management.
