Who We Are
The International Society of Groundwater for Sustainable Development (ISGSD) is a global scientific society advancing groundwater science, safe water, public health, and sustainable development. The Society’s stated focus is not only on groundwater as a physical resource, but on groundwater as a human-development issue: safe drinking water, protection of aquifers, resilience under climate and development pressures, and the reduction of health risks associated with groundwater contamination. ISGSD presents itself as a science–policy–practice network.
Its current public positioning emphasizes three themes:
(1) groundwater sustainability, including responsible groundwater use and aquifer protection;
(2) health and geogenic risk, including arsenic, fluoride, salinity, manganese, and other naturally occurring groundwater-quality challenges; and
(3) digital water intelligence, linking hydrogeochemical data, field tools, dashboards, AI-enabled analytics, and governance pathways for scalable groundwater decision support.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Advancing Groundwater Science for a Sustainable and Healthy Future
Groundwater is more than a natural resource—it is fundamental to safe drinking water, food security, public health, resilient communities, and sustainable development.
The International Society of Groundwater for Sustainable Development (ISGSD) brings together scientific knowledge, practical expertise, digital innovation, and policy perspectives to improve how groundwater resources are understood, protected, and managed.
Our Mission
To improve understanding of groundwater resources and facilitate their sustainable management and protection, so that groundwater supports safe drinking water, food security, health, and social and economic development.
Our Vision
A world where groundwater is managed through evidence, aquifers are protected from contamination, communities have safer access to water, and knowledge flows effectively between scientists, agencies, practitioners, and the public.
Our Objectives
01 - Sustainable Groundwater Management
Improve understanding of groundwater resources and promote their responsible, sustainable, and long-term management.
02 - Aquifer Protection & Resilience
Promote responsible groundwater use, aquifer protection, and resilience to climate change, population growth, and development pressures.
03 - Groundwater Quality & Health
Advance scientific understanding of geogenic groundwater-quality risks, including arsenic, fluoride, salinity, manganese, and related contaminants that can affect human health.
04 - Safe Water & Risk Mapping
Support source identification, groundwater-quality assessment, risk mapping, safer aquifer targeting, and applied approaches that improve access to safe water.
05 - Science, Policy & Communities
Strengthen connections between scientists, public agencies, practitioners, and communities so that scientific evidence can support effective action.
06 - Digital Groundwater Intelligence
Advance the use of hydrogeochemical data, field technologies, digital dashboards, AI-enabled analytics, and decision-support tools for better groundwater management.
07 - Research for Social Impact
Provide an interdisciplinary international forum for groundwater research focused on challenges with significant environmental, health, and social impact.
Scientific scope
The scientific scope visible across the uploaded draft, homepage language, and journal description is broad but coherent. It covers the chain from aquifer science to drinking-water safety to development policy.
Hydrogeology and sustainable groundwater resources management
Groundwater contamination, aquifer protection, vulnerability, and risk assessment
Geogenic groundwater quality, especially arsenic, fluoride, salinity, manganese, and related naturally occurring contaminants
Safe drinking-water access and public-health implications of groundwater quality
Groundwater treatment, remediation, and mitigation practice
Groundwater and food security, including irrigation-related development concerns
Climate-change impacts on groundwater systems and resilience planning
Hydroeconomics, governance, and evidence-based policy
Digital groundwater intelligence, including data systems, field tools, dashboards, and AI-enabled analytics
A distinguishing feature of ISGSD’s public framing is that it prioritizes research and action on groundwater problems with clear social impact, rather than groundwater science in isolation.
The official homepage presents a three-stage roadmap that can already be used as concise organizational planning language:
ISGSD is a global scientific society advancing groundwater science, safe water, health, and sustainable development. The Society works at the intersection of hydrogeology, groundwater quality, public health, and implementation-oriented policy, with particular attention to aquifer protection, safe drinking-water access, climate resilience, and geogenic groundwater-quality risks such as arsenic, fluoride, salinity, and manganese. ISGSD also promotes digital groundwater intelligence by connecting hydrogeochemical data, field tools, dashboards, and AI-enabled analytics to real-world decision support. Through its scientific network, journal affiliation, topical sessions, and emerging digital initiatives, the Society seeks to improve understanding of groundwater resources and support their sustainable management for social and economic human development.

Groundwater intelligence and ASMITAS
Science, policy and implementation for
groundwater-secure futures
A refreshed homepage should communicate ISGSD as an active, trusted and globally connected society moving from presence to implementation.
Groundwater sustainability
Promote responsible groundwater use, aquifer protection, safe drinking-water access, and long-term resilience under climate and development pressures.
Health and geogenic risk
Advance evidence-based understanding of arsenic, fluoride, salinity, manganese, and other naturally occurring groundwater quality challenges.
Digital water intelligence
Connect hydrogeochemical data, field tools, dashboards, AI-enabled analytics, and governance pathways for scalable groundwater decision support.
Flagship Initiative
ASMITAS: Arsenic Mitigation at Source.
ASMITAS can be positioned as a flagship digital water platform for scaling safe water access by linking aquifer knowledge, sediment color tools, water-quality monitoring, field validation, and decision-support dashboards.
- Translate hydrogeochemical science into field-ready groundwater safety guidance.
- Support source identification, risk mapping and safer aquifer targeting.
- Create a bridge between scientific evidence, public agencies and community-level action.
- Build toward AI-enabled groundwater intelligence for climate-resilient governance.
