Vítor Correia, EFG President European Federation of Geologists C/O Service Géologique de Belgique Rue Jenner 13 B-1000 Bruxelles, Belgium “Water, like religion and ideology, has the power to move millions of people. Since the very Tel: +32 2 7887636 birth of human civilization, people have moved to settle close to it. People move when there is [email protected] too little of it. People move when there is too much of it. People write, sing and dance about it. www.eurogeologists.eu People fight over it. And all people, everywhere and every day, need it.” Mikhail Gorbachev EFG BOARD his edition of European Geologist is dedicated to groundwater. Groundwater lies in the hidden part of the water cycle, which PRESIDENT may explain why it is so difficult to attract the attention of Tthe general public and decision makers to this critical resource. This EurGeol. Vítor Correia [email protected] effect is visible in the work programs of Horizon 2020 for 2016-2017, adopted by the European Commission in October 2015. Horizon 2020 VICE-PRESIDENT is the most important and biggest research funding instrument in Europe (and probably in the world at this time) and, despite evidence EurGeol. Nieves Sánchez on the need for more research and better coordination to cope with [email protected] water scarcity in many regions of Europe, water is no longer present as a stand-alone topic, as was the case in the period 2013-2015. SECRETARY-GENERAL In addition, Europe is struggling to manage its worst refugee emergency since World War EurGeol. Domenico Calcaterra II, and the social and political implications of this crisis cannot be predicted (the crisis itself [email protected] was not foreseen one year ago). If the trend towards nationalism continues to grow, it can affect transnational cooperation across Europe, simply because many people do not realise TREASURER that political boundaries have nothing to do with water basins or geological aquifers. Bob Hoogendoorn In a world that faces climate change and a growing population (there were 7 billion of [email protected] us in October 2011 and we will reach 8 billion by the spring of 2024, according to the most recent United Nations estimate), access to clean water will become the main key challenge EXTERNAL RELATIONS OFFICER to mankind in this century. Tamás Hamor The role of geoscientists in this context is well illustrated by several articles included in [email protected] this issue. Investigating and mapping the subsurface, evaluating groundwater geochemistry and modelling water flow are fundamental contributions to manage water quality and supply. But, with the increasing competition among various water users, we have additional responsibilities: we must provide objective information; we must inform policy makers that EDITORIAL BOARD preventing groundwater depletion and changes in groundwater quality demands a holistic Éva Hartai (Editor in chief) approach, combining local and regional scales; we must explain
