We welcome all International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) members to sign an Indigenous Groundwater Declaration to acknowledge, champion and support through actions for the betterment of including and respecting Indigenous knowledge in groundwater activities, deliberations, decisions and policies.
This Declaration will be the first of its kind within the international groundwater community. Indigenous people’s long association and connections to groundwater cover a broad range, such as historic use for consumption and survival in a dry landscape and a suite of cultural and spiritual connections associated with knowledge and use of the water and places associated with groundwater.
