| Abstract |
This conference, a contribution to UNESCO’s IHP-V Theme 3 Groundwater resources at risk, was a follow-up to the successful FGR-94 (Future Groundwater Resources at Risk) International Conference held in Helsinki, Finland in 1994. The conference was organized by the Changchun University of Science and Technology (CUST), the IHP of UNESCO, the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH), the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS), and the Water Management Modelling Center (Changchun) of the Ministry of Land and Resources of China.
The objective of FGR-98 comprised the full range of issued involved in the assessment of future groundwater risks and the practical solutions to control and possibly alleviate or remedy groundwater risks, especially in view of the availability of groundwater in the future and groundwater contamination due to human activities. The risks of future groundwater resources are main problems in the world and which may vary in different regions. In this light, and whenever new groundwater problems occur, it is important to exchange experiences and discuss future strategies, particularly new technical methods and the development of possible preventive and remediation measures.
Seventy-one papers have been included into the proceedings, as well as oral presentation papers and posters. The papers in this volume are grouped in the following topics:
- Side effects related to groundwater development in urban areas;
- Groundwater contamination control and remediation;
- Water resources development and ecosystems in arid or semi-arid areas;
- Water resources and environment in karst areas;
- Groundwater modelling and information system; and
- Groundwater monitoring, management and protection.
