Urbanization modifies underlying groundwater systems. This may lead to adverse hydrological, water quality, geotechnical, or socio-economic effects, jeopardizing sustainability. To avoid these effects, management is required irrespective of whether the groundwater is to be used or not. This management must be based on a sound technical understanding of the interacting processes involved. The papers in the present volume explore the state of this understanding in the context of a wide range of countries, climates, and geologies.
