This book gathers the peer-reviewed proceedings of the 1st congress
on Geoethics & Groundwater Management (GEOETH&GWM'20), held
in Porto, Portugal, in an online format on 18-22 May 2020. Hosted
in School of Engineering (ISEP), Polytechnic of Porto based on
Porto city (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the international
conference focused on what has now been dubbed "hydrogeoethics", a
novel transdisciplinary, scientific field integrating all
dimensions of geoethics in groundwater science and practice. Given
its scope, the book is of interest to all researchers and
practitioners in the geosciences, hydrology, water resources,
hydrogeology, natural resources management, environment,
engineering, law, sociology, education, philosophy, culture, among
others. This joint congress is the result of a collaborative
agreement between the IAH (International Association of
Hydrogeologists) and IAPG (International Association for Promoting
Geoethics) and reflects the need for concerted actions to achieve
sustainable development. The diversity, scale, significance and
increasing magnitude of anthropogenic interactions with aquifers
and groundwater, which often involve conflicting values or
interests, call for analysis, discussions and decisions on the part
of the agents involved, e.g. groundwater scientists, policymakers,
managers, organisations, professionals and citizens. This approach
calls for a responsible, sustainable and human approach to
groundwater use and management. The groundwater community involved
in the exploration and exploitation, use and management of this
increasingly vital natural resource is becoming more and more aware
that ethical issues pervade all our attitudes from concept to
action and need to be addressed. Diverse values and cultures,
science and education, law and policies, human and natural
environments and the public and the economic sectors view
groundwater and its value and/or role differently. The authors
believe that in a globalised and interconnected world, common
ground must be found in the interest of peace, human development
and sustainability. The main topics covered here include: 1.
Fundamentals of hydrogeoethics: cultures, principles and geoethical
values on groundwater science and engineering 2. Lessons for a
resilient and sustainable future with hydrogeoethics: case studies
of geoethics in groundwater science-engineering, profession, and
management 3. Scientific and humanistic components of
hydrogeoethics in groundwater education and professional training
4. Socio-hydrogeology and ethical groundwater management 5.
Geoethics of decision making under uncertainty and ethical issues
in neglecting groundwater functioning 6. Groundwater: geological,
legal, social, and ethical challenges of a unique natural resource
